NOTING THE WOLFPACK (8-1)
• Following its road win at then-No. 10 Iowa, NC State moved up four spots in the AP Top 25 to crack the top 10 again.

• In the Pack's Dec. 1 win at Iowa, Rivers and Johnson both surpassed the 20-point mark. It was the first time the Pack has had two 20+ point scorers in one game since Feb. 21, 2021.
SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 1-0)
• Sunday marks the second meeting between NC State and South Florida.
