In the first meeting between NC State and Wake Forest this season, the game went exactly as one might expect from a pair of teams with above-average offenses and below-average defenses: there were a lot of points. We are likely to see a similar game in the rematch Saturday. To the bullet points!
First meeting: Wake 93, State 88 [81 possessions]
— John Collins dominated the paint for Wake, scoring 21 on 8-11 shooting while also grabbing 11 rebounds.— Neither team shot well from three: Wake was 6-22, State was 6-26; those were aberrant performances for both teams.
