SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 42-41)
Thursday marks the 84th overall meeting between NC State and Virginia. With the exception of the 2020-21 COVID season, the teams have faced off at least once every season since the Pack's first as a varsity squad in 1974-75

This is the second of two regular-season meetings between the Wolfpack and the Cavaliers. NC State won the first matchup of the year in Charlottesville, beating Virginia by a 72-61 score. That victory pushed the overall series in NC State's favor.

Last year, the teams split games and each won on their home court.

NC State has won seven of the last eight games over Virginia.

The Cavaliers last won in the second of two meetings between the squads last year, snapping a six-game winning streak that NC State previously had over the Virginia. UVA won that contest, played in Charlottesville, by a 71-59 score.

Prior to that game, NC State had won six in a row over the Cavaliers with an average margin of victory of 22.3 points in that stretch.

NC State is 10-3 against Virginia under the leadership of Coach Moore

NC State (15-1, 3-1 ACC) kept its home winning streak alive as it cruised by visiting Virginia (8-7, 0-4 ACC), with the sixth-ranked Wolfpack beating the Cavaliers 93-66 in front of another sold out Reynolds Coliseum crowd on Thursday night.

The Pack was once again able to show off its variety of offensive weapons as five players scored in double figures in the team's home win. NC State's 93 points were the most scored by the team in a game this season and its first time scoring more than 90 against a conference opponent since its home finale against Syracuse on Feb. 20, 2022.

Freshman guard Zoe Brooks set a new career high in scoring with 19 points in her fifth career start, as did fellow rookie Laci Steele who scored 13 points and knocked down three triples. Mimi Collins nearly notched a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds, Madison Hayes added 17 and Aziaha James scored 15.

All available players saw time in the victory, and 10 different Wolfpack players found the scoring column. NC State knocked down 10 threes as a team, with five different players contributing to that tally. James (2-of-3) and Hayes (3-of-7) both joined Steele in multi-three pointer nights.

NC State jumped out to an early 12-4 lead in the first two and a half minutes to force Virginia into a timeout, and the Cavaliers were never able to recover from there. Five unanswered points by Brooks put the Wolfpack up 10 (19-9) just under the six minute mark of the first quarter, and Virginia did not get its deficit back into single digits for the remainder of the game.

After scoring its most points in a half this season to carry a 57-34 lead into the break, NC State led by 20+ for the entirety of the second half.

NC State has now won 11 home games in a row and remains perfect (9-0) in home contests in 2023-24.

Sunday is NC State's open date, and the sixth-ranked Wolfpack will then return to action next Thursday, Jan. 18 with a trip to Miami. That road contest against the Hurricanes is slated to start at 6 p.m. on ACCNX.
