Heading into tonight’s Top-25 matchup between #22 NC State and #8 UVA, the Wolfpack are in the midst of one of their best runs in ACC play since the conference was formed in 1953.
The Wolfpack are 9-4 in the ACC, but they have won 8 of their last 9 conference games.
The last time NC State went on a run like this in ACC Regular Season games was during the 1972-73 and 73-74 seasons, when the Wolfpack went 12-0 in ACC play.
12-0 (1972 & 73-74)
12 of 13 (1958-59)
8 of 9 (2022-23, 1961-61, 1954-55)
7 of 8 (1974-75, 1969-70, 1964-65, 1955-56)
6 of 7 (2005-06, 1979-80, 1960-61, 1957-58)
Drop in NET probably has more to do with other teams picking up some good wins vs us playing ND. Its an up and down thing that evens out in the end.
Just keep TCOB and we can have a decent tourney seed.
Five road games left, WF, UVA, BC, SYR, Duke.
We need to win at least 3 of those 5 which would put us at 5-5 in away games, so that means win BC & SYR which won’t be easy, and one of the other three, which should all be Q1.
We need Terquavion’s shooting arm back for Saturday, WF will be rough, but should definitely be less challenging than winning in Cameron or Charlottesville.
No story here, we knew this was coming for our Q4 games. And it will happen again the first week in Feb when we play FSU and GT back to back at home. The following week BC is an away game, so a win there might not have as much impact.
