The NC State offense can be elite.
In fact, for much of the season, it has been. But a lot of the offensive success has come against teams with weak defensive metrics.
So, what happens when you put the Wolfpak offense up against a top-tier defense? Well, it’s been mixed. NC State has played 4 teams within the Defensive Top-100 (according to Ken Pom). Let’s look at how they fared.
#31 VCU (Win)
NC State’s AsjO = 124.1
#13 Seton Hall (Loss)
NC State’s AdjO = 108.
