NC State and #7 UNC will tipoff tonight at 8pm, and they both enter the contest with the same overall record (11-3) and conference record (3-0).
Let’s take a look at how the two teams compare statistically.
Here’s the brass tax: the Tar Heels hold the statistical advantage in nearly every category. Offensively, the only category the Wolfpack holds the edge is Turnover Percentage. NC State is holding opponents to a few less points, but UNC has also played the 6th hardest schedule. One of the strengths of Kevin Keatts’ defense is taking the ball away, so it’s not shocking that the Wolfpack hold the edge in steals.
