Preview: UNC at #18 NC State Posted Jan 26, 2013 NCSU has shown the ability to play at a higher level in "big" games even if they play down to the Wake Forests and Clemsons of the world. The Wolfpack will be ready for this game and stand a good chance at winning it. As long as UNC continues to show progress and is competitive, the season can continue to move in the right direction even if there is a loss. NCSU 78 UNC 71 (Tar Heel Blog)
