North Carolina Tar Heels vs NC State Wolfpack

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- It might be difficult to determine which point guard is coming off a better game when North Carolina State and No. 14 North Carolina meet on Saturday night.

But it figures that the spotlight will fall on N.C. State freshman Dennis Smith Jr. and North Carolina junior Joel Berry as the teams collide for their first Atlantic Coast Conference encounter of the season at the Smith Center.

Smith produced the second triple-double in N.C. State history with his 27-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist performance in Wednesday night's 104-78 thrashing of No. 21 Virginia Tech.

"He has got the whole package," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.
