Posted Feb 17, 2026
N.C. State is 16th in the ACC in offensive rebounding and 12th in rebounding margin, so UNC may have a chance to end a string of three consecutive games getting outrebounded, which has happened four times in the last six games. UNC has to dominate the glass to control the tempo. The Wolfpack is 13th in the ACC in rebounding (35.1 per game). (Tar Heel Tribune)
