U of L and the NC State Wolfpack will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday at PNC Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Cardinals winning the first 73-68 on the road and NC State taking the second 79-63. U of L came up short against the Lipscomb Bisons on Tuesday, falling 75-67. Despite the defeat, U of L got a solid performance out of guard El Ellis, who had 24 points and six assists. Meanwhile, NC State came out on top in a nail-biter against the Vanderbilt Commodores this past Saturday, sneaking past 70-66. Four players on the Wolfpack scored in the double digits: forward DJ Burns (18), guard Terquavion Smith (16), guard Casey Morsell (15), and guard Jarkel Joiner (12). NC State’s win lifted them to 10-3 while Louisville’s loss dropped them down to 2-10. DJ Burns will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 18 points along with nine rebounds this past Saturday.
