NO PLACE LIKE HOME

The Wolfpack is a perfect 10-0 at home midway through the 2019-20 campaign and outscores its opponents by an average of 24.5 points when playing on Kay Yow Court.
FRESHMAN FINDING FOOTING
Brown-Turner put together her best outing yet as a member of the Wolfpack in the team's victory over Florida State. She tallied career highs in points (18), rebounds (8) and three-pointers made (3) and led the team with nearly 40 minutes of action on the court after starting. The freshman wing was extremely efficient with her 7-of-10 shooting performance. Brown-Turner averages in double figures (10.5 ppg) in conference play and has scored 10+ points in four of six ACC games during her rookie season.
RANKED WINS UNDER MOORE
NC State's matchup with Florida State marked its second against a ranked opponent this season. The Wolfpack has come away victorious in both of its games against the No. 13 Seminoles (68-51) and the No. 9 Maryland Terrapins (66-59). The Pack has hosted a total of nine opponents ranked in the AP Top 25 since the start of the 2016-17 season, and NC State has won six of those nine home games.
CAN'T STOP CUNANE
Cunane ranks sixth nationally in double-doubles (10), ninth in field-goal percentage (.631) and 18th in rebounds per game (10.5). All three of those numbers, as well as her 17.4 points per game, lead the team, and her field-goal percentage paces the conference this season. The sophomore center has scored 20+ points in seven outings, including four of six ACC matchups. Cunane has scored in double figures in all but three games this season.
