SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 6-2)

Wednesday marks the ninth overall meeting between NC State and Vanderbilt.
The teams met for the first time on Feb. 4, 1996 in a game played in the Charlotte Coliseum and most recently squared off in the first game of last year's Cancun Challenge in November 2022.
The Wolfpack is on a four-game winning streak in the series between the teams.
Vanderbilt has not beat NC State since Nov. 28, 2009, with that game played on the Commodores' home floor. Vandy's only other win in the series was the first meeting between the squads.
NC State came away with the 82-73 win in the teams' Cancun Challenge meeting just over a year ago.

NOTING THE WOLFPACK (7-0)

NC State jumped five spots in the AP Top 25 to check in at No. 5 in the Week 4 poll. It marks the 71st week in program history that the Pack has been a top-five team and is the team's first such ranking since ending the 2021-22 season at No. 3.
The Pack defeated two AP Top 3 teams (No. 2 UConn on Nov. 12, No. 3 Colorado on Nov. 25) in the span of 13 days. It marked the fourth time in team history that NC State has defeated two top-three teams in the same season and was the second-shortest span of time between two Wolfpack wins over top-three squads.
River Baldwin was named a USBWA National Player of the Week (one of five) following the best three-game stretch of her career.
All four of the Pack's players who average double figures this season (Aziaha James, Saniya Rivers, Madison Hayes, Mimi Collins) have scored 10+ points in at least four of seven games played.
The Pack is coming off a 3-0 week at the 2023 Paradise Jam during which it won its bracket with victories over Kentucky, Cincinnati and No. 3 Colorado. NC State won those games by an average of 27 points, with its largest win coming in the form of a 34-point decision over the Bearcats.
