NC State and Wake Forest rekindle its ACC rivalry on Monday night in Winston-Salem at 6:30 p.m., for the first of two regular-season matchups this season. The game can be seen on the Regional Sports Network and ESPN3.
Links are available above for the RSN affiliates that will carry the game, or watch online on ESPN3.
The Wolfpack will look to continue the momentum it built last time out with a convincing 80-57 victory over Boston College at home this past Thursday. Meanwhile, Wake Forest is coming off a four-point, 71-67 setback at the hands of Georgia Tech.
State is 25-6 all-time against the Deacs in Winston-Salem. However, the last few years have been extremely close calls with two of the last three meetings going to overtime - each team brought home a win in the two extra session contests.
Last time out against the Eagles, Marissa Kastanek and Bonae Holston combined for 40 points and 19 rebounds. Kastanek joined the 1,000-point club that evening as she led the team with 21 points, while Holston had 19 and a season-high 15 rebounds, one short of her career-best total.
NC State remains on the road for the fourth time already in conference play to take on Clemson Thursday at 7 p.m., in Clemson, S.C. The next home game takes place next Sunday against North Carolina at 1 p.m., and will also be shown on RSN.
