Quote of the day
This quote is from The Wolfpacker’s Matt Carter’s ACC men’s basketball Power Rankings.
“The Wolfpack has one of the tougher front-loaded ACC schedules in the league, but thus far NC State is managing well thanks to a big week with victories over Duke and Virginia Tech. Still more challenges await, starting with Miami at home Saturday. The Hurricanes already have a win over NC State this season.”
