WBB vs No. 9 NC State

The ladies play no. 9 NC State tonight at 7PM in Raleigh. The game will be on ACCNx. This will be another challenging game for the ladies. NC State is undefeated this year with wins over current no. 25 Texas and current no. 12 Maryland; both games were in Raleigh. They dismantled BC at BC on Dec 29:

NC State is a relatively tall team that will match up well against the Hokies. Sophomore 6'5" center Cunane is averaging a double double this year with 15.6 pts and 10.6 rebounds per game. Kitley will have her work cut out for her; if she gets in early foul trouble, the game could get away from us quickly. Even if Kitley can stay in the game, Cunane will be a challenge; she shoots 64.9% overall and 55.6% from three.

Stats for the stats geeks:

NC State is a very good team that averages 44.8% shooting overall and 35.6% from three. They have out-rebounded their opponents by 14 rebounds per game. They also have not fouled much in the early going; opponents are only averaging less than 10 FTs per game. The Hokies will have to limit turnovers and shoot lights out to have a chance in this one.

Go Hokies!
