My Prediction
North Carolina State Wolfpack by 6Let's get right to the heart of the matter. North Carolina State Wolfpack is hitting the road, ready to face off against the Miami Hurricanes. Now, I don't need to remind you. We've got some strong players on both sides.
For the Wolfpack, we've got Dontrez Styles, who's been averaging 12.7 points in the last month, like he's just cashing a regular paycheck. Then we've got Michael O'Connell, with 6.2 points and 4.1 assists per game in the last month. Marcus Hill also deserves a nod with an average of 9.6 points over the last month.
Now, don't count the Miami Hurricanes out. They've got Matthew Cleveland, who has been dropping a whopping 21.5 points per game in the past month. I mean, at this rate, the kid might as well just print his own currency. Lynn Kidd and Brandon Johnson have been doing some heavy lifting too, with Kidd averaging 13.2 points and Johnson not far behind with 8.5 points per game in the last month.
Now let's talk match history. Past encounters between these two titans give the Wolfpack a slight edge with victories in 2024 and 2023, but, hey, anyone with a pair of decent glasses can see that those games were razor thin.
The regular season records... well, let's just say the Hurricanes might want to work on their win-loss ratio. The Wolfpack stands at a modest 12-18, looking like the more composed team when compared to the Hurricanes who are sitting at 6-24, and need an injection of Hurricane-force winds in their game, if you ask me.
Taking a gander at the recent results, the Hurricanes have been caught in a storm of losses, while the Wolfpack showed some predatory prowess, managing a 3:2 split of wins and losses.
In terms of the AP ranking, well, folks, if you are expecting any solace there, I am sorry to burst your bubble, as neither team has made it into the ranks worth noting.
Now the magical question, who's going to win? With the stronger performance of the Wolfpack's top players, coupled with their recent victories and their past encounters tipping in their favor, I'd cast my lot with North Carolina State. So, without further ado...
