Photo by Ryan Hunt/Getty Images NC State’s offense found its identity down the stretch of the regular season, and bolstered by the playmaking abilities of Kevin Concepcion, it really took off. The Wolfpack capped the season with its highest yardage total (504) and per-play average (6.8) of the year in the beatdown of UNC. It’s been quite the turnaround. You can see the KC Effect in the big-play numbers. State’s explosive play output lagged behind 2022 for a good portion of 2023 but started to hit a lot more home runs as it surged. Concepcion obviously had a whole lot to do with that. In a lot fewer snaps, NC State nearly matched its total of plays for 20-29 yards from 2022, and nearly doubled its number of plays over 30 yards. These numbers still don’t rate well nationally, but within the context of State’s recent output, they’re really encouraging. With the potential playmaking additions coming through this year’s recruiting class, plus, perhaps, the addition of a veteran playmaker at quarterback in the near future, the offense looks poised to build on these gains next fall.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports UNC looks for another big win as they head into the big city tonight. Last week was a big one for North Carolina Tar Heels basketball. UNC welcomed then-top-ten Tennessee into the Smith Center and put in a big performance, dropping 100 points against a team that was considered one of the best defenses in the country. They followed that up by rallying past Florida State after a huge second half run. Now, things aren’t set to get any easier. Tonight, Carolina will head back out on the toad for a top ten battle in “The Mecca.” Later today, Madison Square Garden will play host as the Tar Heels take on the reigning national champions: the UConn Huskies. While their roster has some differences from when they cut down the nets last April, UConn still comes into this matchup as a highly ranked team. So far, they’re 7-1 on the season, with their only loss coming on the road to a very good Kansas team. This will be a very tough test for the Heels, but if they play like they did last week, it should be a fun game. If you’re not going to be in Manhattan for the game tonight, here’s how you can check it out: Time: 9:00 PM ET Location: Madison Square Garden - New York, NY TV: ESPN with Dan Shulman, Jay Bilas, and Angel Gray on the call Radio: Tar Heel Sports Network with Jones Angell.
