NC State continues its stretch away from home on Thursday, Dec. 2 when it makes a trip to take on fourth-ranked Indiana in the 2021 installment of the B1G/ACC Challenge. Tip-off from Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind., is set for 7 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

NC State women's basketball guard Diamond Johnson was honored as Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday.

Johnson earned her first career conference Player of the Week honor after averaging 20.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.0 steals in a 2-0 week for the Wolfpack that included wins over No. 2 Maryland and Washington State. She put together those averages while shooting over 50 percent overall (.515, 17-of-33) and from distance (.538, 7-of-13).

The Philadelphia, Pa., native turned in her best scoring performance in NC State uniform against the Terrapins with 17 points, eight boards and a team-leading five assists and four steals. Johnson then bested that outing against Washington State, where she finished just two points shy of her career high with 24. It marked the eighth 20+ point game of her career and is the highest scoring performance by a member of the Wolfpack through seven games. Johnson shot 10-of-16 (.625) against the Cougars and knocked down four threes.

On the year, Johnson averages 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game. She ranks sixth in the league in steals and seventh with her 51.3 percent clip from the field. Johnson is one of two players in the ACC to average 10+ points/5+ rebounds/3+ assists/2+ steals.

After moving up to No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25 earlier Monday, the Wolfpack turns its attention to a top-10 B1G/ACC Challenge matchup with sixth-ranked Indiana.

Second-ranked NC State women's hoops (6-1) faces its first true road test of the season on Thursday evening as it makes the trip to take on sixth-ranked Indiana (5-1) in the 2021 installment of the B1G/ACC Challenge. Tip-off between the Wolfpack and the Hoosiers is set for 7 p.m. from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind., and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

Thursday's contest marks NC State's third top-10 faceoff in the first 25 days of the 2021-22 campaign.

SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 4-1)
Thursday marks the sixth overall meeting between NC State and Indiana. It will be the second season in a row that the two squads face each other, and the first time since 2016-17 doing so in the regular season.
NC State and Indiana last met on March 27, 2021 in the Sweet Sixteen of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers picked up their first win in the series, a three-point 73-70 decision in San Antonio, to advance to the Elite Eight.
The Wolfpack has taken on the Hoosiers in the B1G/ACC Challenge one other time, hosting them in the 2016 edition of the event and winning by an 84-70 score.
Last season's meeting marked the first time that the squads faced off while both ranked in the AP Top 25. NC State was ranked third, and Indiana was ranked 12th.
The Wolfpack has defeated Indiana by as many as 18 points and as few as two points in the series history between the squads.
