RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State worked its way back into the national rankings after upsetting then No. 19 Vanderbilt, and with wins over Elon and Liberty en route to clinching its own tournament title. The Wolfpack (5-2) reentered the national spotlight at the No. 25 position. NC State exited the Associated Press poll on Nov. 21, after two weeks in the top 25.

The Pack has this week off while the student-athletes concentrate on exams and will return to the court on Sunday, Dec. 11 against Delaware State. Game time is set for 2 p.m., in Reynolds Coliseum.
