• Diamond Johnson is the only Wolfpack player averaging double figures in scoring with her mark of 12.9 points per game.
• NC State has four players averaging 9+ points per game and seven players averaging 7+ points per game. All of those women are shoot- ing 37+ percent from the field this season. The Pack is one of four programs nationally that has seven players with those marks.

SERIES HISTORY (Louisville leads 8-6)
• Sunday's game marks the 15th meeting between NC State and Louisville.
• The Wolfpack is on a three-game winning streak in the series after winning its 2020-21 regular-season meeting with the Cardinals, its 2021 ACC Tournament championship matchup with them and its home game against Louisville during the 2021-22 regular season.
• The Pack is 2-2 when playing on Louisville's home court. NC State won its last trip to the KFC Yum! Center as it beat the then top- ranked Cardinals 74-60.
• NC State and Louisville last faced off on Jan. 20, 2022 inside Reynolds Coliseum. The Pack overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Cardinals 68-59 in a game that eventually decided last year's ACC regular season champion.
• The Wolfpack is 4-8 against Louisville in the Moore era.
• Louisville's last win in the series was during the 2019-20 regular season. The Cardinals beat NC State inside Reynolds Coliseum in that Feb. 13, 2020 matchup before going on to win the regular season crown that year.
• Sunday marks the first time after six meetings in a row that NC State and Louisville are not both ranked in the national top 10.
• Sunday marks Wolfpack senior Brown-Turner's fourth career game against Louisville. Within that 3-1 record she has helped the Pack to in the series, Brown-Turner has averaged 11.3 points and 39.5 percent shooting (17-of-43) against the Cardinals.
• Jada Boyd has also seen action in all four of those meetings during her career with averages of 9.8 points and 60.9 percent shooting (14-of-23).
