NC State is back on the road with a date at Clemson on Saturday night at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Wolfpack, which sits 83rd in the NCAA NET rankings, needs a Quadrant 1 win to kick off its final stretch to try to build an at-large resume ahead of the ACC tournament. The red and white is looking to bounce back after back-to-back losses, while the team clad in Orange is riding a three-game winning streak into the contest. Here are three thoughts, a bold prediction and some notes heading into the Tigers and Wolfpack matchup, which is scheduled to tip off at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday.
