NC State hits the road for the third time in ACC play, and the second time in the past two weeks as it gets set to play at Louisville on Saturday afternoon. The Wolfpack is reeling from its fourth loss of the season, a 13-point loss to No. 7 North Carolina on Wednesday night at PNC Arena. NC State has a chance to record its third win after a loss this season against the Cardinals while it looks to avoid its second two-game losing streak of the campaign. Here are three thoughts, a bold prediction and some notes heading into the Cardinals and Wolfpack bout, which is scheduled to tipoff at noon on Saturday.
