NC State Wolfpack
The Wolfpack have been holding their own on the court this season, averaging a solid 73.8 points per game, placing them 47th in the league. On the defensive end, they’re allowing opponents to score an average of 60.3 points per outing, ranking 79th in the nation. With a scoring differential of +502, they’re outscoring their opponents by 13.5 points per game.
In ACC matchups, NC State has been slightly less productive, averaging 72.6 points per game compared to their overall season average of 73.8.
However, they’ve fallen short of that mark in their last 10 games, averaging just 67.8 ppg. Despite the slight dip, they’re still a formidable opponent and capable of putting up big numbers when they need to.
South Carolina Gamecocks
The Gamecocks and their undefeated season has been impressive – they’ve averaged a huge 85.6 points per game. Their offense ranks third overall in NCAAB standings. On the defensive end, they’ve been stingy, holding opponents to just 56 points per game, which puts them 17th in the nation.
But when it comes to SEC matchups, they’ve dialed it back slightly, averaging 84.3 points per game. Still solid, but just a notch below their overall season average. Interestingly, they seem to thrive even more at home, where they’re putting up an average of 89.8 points per game compared to 83 points on the road.
Overall, they’ve been consistent over their last 10 games, averaging 83.7 points per game, which is just a titch lower than their season average.
