ACC Data Spotlight

NC State Wolfpack

2025 Context: 20-14 Overall | #8 in ACC Standings

Model Metric: High-Variance Perimeter Anchor

Our forecasting models flag the Wolfpack as a high-variance offensive juggernaut. NC State led the entire ACC in three-point accuracy, hitting a lethal 38.8% from deep on 26.4 attempts per game to fuel a strong 118.4 offensive rating. However, their ceiling was continually constrained by a 108.6 defensive rating, creating explosive shootouts—evidenced by hanging 98 points on Pitt before bowing out of the ACC Tournament in an 81–74 track meet against Virginia.
