SERIES HISTORY (Stanford leads 2-1)

Friday marks the fourth overall meeting between NC State and Stanford and their first in nearly 30 years. It will be the Pack's first time facing off against the Cardinal in the NCAA Tournament.
The teams are meeting for the first time since the 1994-95 season. Stanford won that game, played inside Reynolds Coliseum, by a 78-63 score on Dec. 3, 1994.
Two of the Pack's three previous games against the Cardinal were played on NC State's home floor. Friday will be their first matchup on a neutral court.
NC State's sole win in the series was on Dec. 21, 1988. The Wolfpack beat Stanford 80-72 in that contest that rounded out a home-and-home series between the squads.
Stanford has been ranked in the AP Top 15 in all three previous meetings with NC State. That matchup during the 1988-89 campaign marked the only time that the teams squared off as a pair of ranked teams.
The matchup pits the Pack up against a Cardinal squad that is set to join the ACC beginning with the 2024-25 athletic/academic year. As part of the new ACC schedule setup, NC State will make a road trip to play at Stanford during conference play next season.
