NC State has already secured the No. 1 seed for the upcoming ACC Tournament, and a victory on Sunday would guarantee the outright championship for the squad.
NOTING THE WOLFPACK (25-3, 16-1 ACC)
• NC State is 16-1 in ACC play, its best such mark through 17 league games in a season. The Pack's 16 ACC wins is a new program record for single-season league victories, beating out 14 set in 2019-20.
• NC State secured a 25+ win season for the 13th time in program history and the fifth time in the Coach Moore era. The Wolfpack has also had eight 20+ win seasons (including seven in a row) under his leadership.
• NC State was ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press Top 25 on Monday. The Wolfpack has been ranked fifth or higher in every poll this season.
• The Wolfpack is nationally ranked:
5th in three-point percentage (.381)
5th in scoring margin (+20.0)
6th in defensive rebounds per game (30.3)
7th in field-goal percentage (.467)
12th in rebound margin (+9.3)
15th in scoring offense (77.2)
16th in rebounds per game (42.5)
20th in field goal percentage defense (.355)
26th in assist-turnover ratio (1.15)
