The Pack has scored 40+ points off the bench in eight games this season, including a school-record 62-point performance in the win over USC Upstate on Dec. 22. Since the 1999-2000 season, nine of the top-19 bench scoring performances for NC State have come under Kevin Keatts coached teams.

- Over the last four games, DJ Funderburk is shooting 76% (19-of-25) from the field and averaging 12.8 points per game. Funderburk is shooting 65.4% from the field this season, including 73.7% (14-of-19) in the Pack's three ACC games.
