A WIN ON THURSDAY WOULD

NOTING THE WOLFPACK (16-5, 6-4 ACC)
• NC State moved up five spots to check in at No. 15 in Monday's release of the AP Top 25. Prior to that, the Wolfpack had spent back-to-back weeks at No. 20, which marked its first time being outside the Top 15 since the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
• NC State is ranked tied for seventh in the ACC following Sunday's games. The Wolfpack has the tiebreaker over Miami.
• NC State has defeated a pair of ranked opponents in No. 10 Iowa and No. 7 Notre Dame. The Pack is now an even 2-2 in games played against ranked teams this season.
• The Wolfpack ranks in the top 30 nationally in fewest fouls per game (7th - 12.9), blocks per game (25th - 4.8), field-goal percentage (29th - .452) and rebounds per game (30th - 41.4).
• Diamond Johnson is the only Wolfpack player averaging double figures in scoring with her mark of 13.2 points per game.
• NC State has five players averaging 8.7+ points per game and seven players averaging 7+ points per game.
• River Baldwin and Jada Boyd each average 4.9 rebounds per game to lead a group of seven Wolfpack players who are averaging 4+ rebounds per game this year.
• Johnson has a team-best three-point shooting percentage of .412 to rank 34th nationally.
• Johnson (12.3), Saniya Rivers (9.7), Camille Hobby (8.5) and Mimi Collins (8.4) have scored 10+ points in at least four ACC games this season. Collins leads the squad with six double-figure scoring performances against league teams.
• Boyd (8.3) joins that group in averaging greater than eight points per game in ACC play.
• Collins averages double figures (11.5 ppg) in the Pack's ACC wins, shooting 51 percent overall (25-of-49) and 50 percent from three (5-of-10) in those six games.
LAST THREE FOR THE PACK
• After initially falling to 3-4 in ACC play, the Wolfpack is riding a three-game winning streak into Thursday's game at Georgia Tech.
• In those victories against Miami, at Louisville and against Notre Dame, four Wolfpack players have averaged double figures in scoring -- Johnson (13.0), Collins (11.7), Rivers (10.7) and Boyd (10.5).
• Johnson has averaged 4.7 assists in the last three games, including back-to-back games with five or more. She's turned the ball over just twice in each of those outings for an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.33 since Jan. 19.
• Collins has earned the starting nod in each of those games and is the only player to have scored 10+ points in all three.
SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 51-24)
• Thursday's game marks the 76th overall meeting between NC State and Georgia Tech. The teams have faced off at least once a season since 1979-80.
• NC State is on a four-game winning streak over the Yellow Jackets and has won 10 of the last 11 in the series. Two of those wins in its current streak were during the 2020 and 2021 ACC Tournaments.
• Georgia Tech's last win over the Wolfpack came in Raleigh on Feb. 16, 2020.
• The Pack is 22-13 in road games at Georgia Tech. NC State has won six in a row in Atlanta, with its last road loss to the Yellow Jackets coming in overtime on Feb. 2, 2012.
• NC State won last year's regular-season meeting, the most recent between the squads, by a 59-48 score on its home court.
• The Wolfpack is 10-1 against Georgia Tech in the Moore era.
