NC State is back at it Wednesday night for a rare home meeting with a ranked non-conference opponent, and it goes without saying that it’s the biggest game of the season for the Wolfpack.
Auburn is 9-1 on the year, its lone loss a 78-72 defeat at the hands of Duke in Maui. The Tigers have a top-15 team this season, and the credentials to prove it: they have four wins against KenPom top-100 teams, three of them by double figures. Their most impressive win was a 22-point victory over Washington, which is 54th in the Pomeroy Ratings.
