Tip-off from Kay Yow Court inside Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum is scheduled for 2 p.m., with live video coverage provided by ACCNX and the radio call on WKNC 88.1 FM in Raleigh.
FAN INFO
Masks are required to be worn when not actively eating or drinking. Doors open at 1 p.m., and more information about mobile ticketing can be found here. NC State is giving away free Bojangles' biscuits to the first 125 students in attendance as part of its "Study Break" promotion.
A WIN ON SUNDAY WOULD
• Be the 974th win in program history (973-475)
• Be head coach Wes Moore's 756th career win (755-235)
• Be Moore's 198th win at NC State (197-66)
• Be NC State's eighth win in a row
• Extend the Wolfpack's winning streak against Elon to five games
• Be NC State's 43rd home win in a row over an unranked non-conference opponent
NOTING THE WOLFPACK (7-1)
• After defeating No. 2 Maryland and No. 6 Indiana within a week's time, NC State has earned a pair of ranked victories in the first eight games of the season for the first time since 2001-02 when it defeated No. 18 George Washington and No. 17 Old Dominion in the first five outings. This year's team is the first to accomplish such a mark against two top-10 squads.
• Through eight games, the Wolfpack is nationally ranked:
8th in three-point percentage (.408)
12th in rebound margin (+12.8)
13th in field-goal percentage (.479)
17th in defensive rebounds per game (30.6)
19th in scoring margin (+22.5)
26th in fewest turnovers per game (12.9)
29th in rebounds per game (43.4)
• NC State's overall (.479) and three-point (.408) shooting percentages both lead the ACC, and the team is also tied for the league lead in fewest turnovers per game (12.9).
• Elissa Cunane and Diamond Johnson are tied for the team lead in scoring with 14.0 points per game, and Cunane (7.4) and Johnson (6.0) are also the team's top two rebounders this season. They are shooting 53.9 percent and 50 percent, respectively, this season to both rank in the top seven in the ACC in field goal percentage.
• Five Wolfpack players are averaging 8+ points and at least 15 minutes per game through eight balanced scoring outings.
• NC State has out-rebounded and out-shot each opponent that it has defeated this season.
ROAD TO 200
Coach Moore is three victories away from 200 at NC State (197-66). The earliest he could hit that mark would be in the Pack's Dec. 12 home game against Saint Mary's.
SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 11-1)
• Sunday marks the 13th meeting between NC State and Elon. This will mark the fourth year in a row that the teams have faced off during the non-conference portion of their seasons.
• Every matchup between the Wolfpack and the Phoenix has been a home game for NC State.
• NC State has won four games in a row in the series with Elon dating back to the 2017-18 season.
• Elon's lone victory in the series between the two teams was a 69-66 win on Dec. 13, 2015. That game was played at Broughton High School during the Reynolds Coliseum renovation, and the Pack remains unbeaten against the Phoenix when playing on Kay Yow Court.
• NC State last played Elon on Dec. 9, 2020 to wrap up its non- conference schedule in 2020-21. The Pack won by a 76-47 score.
