• The Pack is a perfect 8-0 against Virginia Tech when playing in Raleigh.
• The Hokies have just one victory in the all-time series, a win that came at the 2015 ACC Tournament.
• The teams last met on Jan. 20, 2019 as NC State defeated Virginia Tech 70-61 in an overtime victory inside Reynolds Coliseum.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Since the renovation of Reynolds Coliseum was completed in August 2016, NC State is 54-6 on Kay Yow Court. That record includes 36 consecutive victories over non-conference opponents and an 18 out of 24 possible league wins.
SHARING THE WEALTH
The Wolfpack saw six players score 10+ points in the team's ACC opener against Boston College. It was the second time this season that NC State has accomplished this feat, as it also had six in double figures in its Nov. 24 win at Saint Mary's. Prior to this season, the last time the Wolfpack had more than five score in double figures in a single game was a 102-49 victory over Longwood on Nov. 15, 2012. In that game, eight players posted 10 or more points.
REGULARLY RANKED
In the Dec. 30 edition of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, NC State was ranked ninth in the nation for the fourth week in a row. The program has now spent a total of 154 weeks of its history featured in the national top 10.
DIVERSE SCORING ATTACK
NC State has managed to put together a well-balanced variety of scoring options from the field. The Pack averages 74.3 points per game this season, with an average of 32.8 points coming from inside the paint and 26.8 generated from long range.
WELCOME TO THE ACC
Freshmen Jakia Brown-Turner and Jada Boyd both found double digits in the scoring column as they made their ACC debuts in the Pack's win over Boston College. Boyd was extremely efficient, tallying 11 points (4-of-4 shooting) in just 13 minutes of action. After scoring 10+ points in three of her first five games as a member of the Wolfpack, Brown-Turner posted 10 in her first conference game with NC State.
