DEACS OPEN ROAD TRIP WITH VISIT TO NC STATE
• Wake Forest begins a two-game road trip with a visit to NC State
• With a win, the Deacs would eclipse last year's win total, both overall and in the ACC
• NCSU is the 17th opponent of the last 18 for the Deacs to enter the game with a winning record
• The Deacs look to snap their 25-game ACC road losing streak
SERIES HISTORY
• NC State leads the series 141-103, including a 59-23 record in Raleigh (13-4 at PNC Arena)
• Wake Forest's 103 wins over the Wolfpack are the most against any opponent
• The Deacs have lost their last 11 games in Raleigh (last WF win was in 2004-05)
• The home team has won the last nine regular season meetings in the series
• NC State won 2-of-3 matchups last season, with each team winning at home before the Wolfpack downed the Deacs in the first round of the ACC Tournament in Washington, D.C.
LAST TIME OUT
• Wake Forest posted a 96-79 victory over Miami on Wednesday at the LJVM Coliseum
• John Collins scored a career-high 27 points on 9-11 FGs and a perfect 9-9 from the line

50-40-75 GAMES
• In five games this season, Wake Forest has had a 50-40-75 game (shooting at least 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from behind the arc and 75 percent from the free throw line)
• Prior to this season, the Deacs' last 50-40-75 game came against Notre Dame in the 2014 ACC Tournament
• The five 50-40-75 games are one shy of the school record for most 50-40-75 games in a season (six in 2001-02)
