North Carolina hit a lull after its win over Duke with a loss early last week against Miami at the Watsco Center. Not only did the team lose that game, but star freshman Caleb Wilson also broke his hand, and Henri Veesaar sustained an injury as well. Heading back home over the weekend, without either of its star forwards, Jarin Stevenson and Seth Trimble scored 19 points each as four players finished with over 15 points for the first time in months. Veesaar will likely be back for this game, but Wilson remains out for the foreseeable future.

NC State is looking for revenge after Will Wade and former Tar Heel Ven-Allen Lubin took shots at Hubert Davis and UNC in the offseason. This team has lost two straight games prior to this matchup on the road at Louisville and at home against Miami by just a point over the weekend. Former Texas Tech star Darrion Williams leads the team with 14.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He is followed by Quadir Copeland, who adds 13.8 points and 6.8 assists per game.
