• NC State has four players averaging 9+ points per game overall and seven players averaging 7+ points per game. All of those women are shooting 37+ percent from the field this season. The Pack is one of five programs nationally (Baylor, Miami, SFA, Texas) that has seven players with those marks.

• River Baldwin, who is averaging 6.6 points this season, leads the team in rebounding average with 5.4 per game
• Johnson has compiled a team-best three-point shooting percent- age of .468 to rank 13th nationally in the category. She's shot 50+ percent from distance in eight of 12 games played.
SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 34-16)
• Thursday's game marks the 51st overall meeting between NC State and Florida State. Except for the 2020-21 COVID season, the teams have faced off at least once every season since 1991-92.
• NC State is on a five-game winning streak over the Seminoles and has won seven of the last eight in the series between the squads.

• The Pack is 11-9 when playing on the Seminoles' home court.
• NC State's last trip to Tallahassee marked Florida State's most recent win in the series, a 75-70 win for the Seminoles on Feb. 7, 2019. The Pack's last road win at Florida State was on Jan. 2, 2017.
