NOTING THE WOLFPACK (17-2, 8-0 ACC)

LAST TIME OUT
• The Wolfpack came back from its largest deficit of the season (16 points) in its 68-59 win over No. 3 Louisville on Thursday. NC State scored 31 points in the fourth quarter, its most in a single quarter this season, and held the Cardinals to just eight points in the final frame.
• NC State trailed by 14 (51-37) after the third quarter and became just the fourth team in 1,282 such fourth-quarter deficits this season to come back and win.
• Diamond Johnson and Jakia Brown-Turner combined for 24 of the Pack's 31 fourth-quarter points and hit all five of the team's threes in the closing period.
• The Wolfpack went on a momentum-shifting 17-0 run from the 7:53 mark of the fourth quarter to the 4:04 mark. Within that run, NC State hit four threes and forced three Louisville turnovers while turning on its full court press.
