NC State, which won its fifth ACC game in a row with a 78-74 victory over top-ranked Duke on Sunday night, has moved up to 13th in this week's new Associated Press College Basketball Poll. The ranking is the Wolfpack's highest since January of 1989 when a team that went on to capture the ACC's regular season title was ranked as high as 13th. Now 16-5 overall and 9-2 in conference play, the Pack currently trails Duke by one game in the ACC standings. NC State will be back in action on Wednesday night when it travels to Clemson for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off.
