NC State has reached the brief break for the holidays as it wrapped its non-conference schedule winners of five of its last six heading into January. The red and white have done it with a balanced scoring attack, which is what coach Kevin Keatts hoped would be the case this preseason. The Pack will return to the floor at Notre Dame on Jan. 3, which signals the heart of ACC play, and it will make its conference home opener against Virginia on Jan. 6 at PNC Arena. But before NC State starts to get shots up in a game again, it’s time to hand out some superlatives for the Pack’s non-conference slate.
