The game is set to take place at the Moda Center in Portland, a neutral ground that promises an electric atmosphere.

The Cardinal have been on a winning streak, showcasing a robust offense and a solid defense. In their last game against Iowa State Cyclones, they emerged victorious with 87 points to 81 in an intense overtime showdown. Their offensive stats were impressive; they shot 54 percent from two-point range and 46 percent overall from the field. Notably, their free-throw accuracy was outstanding at 93 percent. Defensively, they dominated with blocks (10) and steals (9), which contributed significantly to their win.

In the previous match against Norfolk State Spartans, Stanford maintained its momentum with a convincing win of 79 points to 50. They continued their efficient shooting with a field goal percentage of 52 and were particularly effective from beyond the arc at an impressive rate of 45 percent.

One key aspect that could play into Stanford's hands is their ability to convert turnovers into points; they scored 21 points off turnovers against Iowa State and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of over one in both games.

Fans can expect Stanford Cardinal's trend of high-scoring quarters and strong defensive plays to challenge NC State Wolfpack's resolve. With both teams looking to assert dominance early on, it will be crucial for Stanford players to maintain composure under pressure and capitalize on scoring opportunities as they arise.
