|
| |  | NOTRE DAME: Notre Dame returns only two starters from last year's team, but they get their best player back in PG Jerian Grant (19.0 PPG, 6.2 APG, 2.5 RPG), who was suspended midway through last season. He is a heady playmaker, as he does a tremendous job of getting to the paint where he can finish or find a teammate. Swingman Pat Connaughton (13.8 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 38% threes) is a player who will benefit from Grant's return. With defenses having to focus more on Grant, he will get a lot more opportunities for wide-open shots. PF Zach Auguste (6.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG in 16.3 MPG) and SG Demetrius Jackson (6.0 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 42% threes) are two guys the Irish will look to increase their scoring. This team has a chance to be one of the better offensive teams in the conference, but will have to focus more on defense (70.6 PPG allowed last season, 13th in ACC) to avoid losing as many close games as they did last season (11 defeats by seven points or less). | | NC STATE: NC State has to replace T.J. Warren, who averaged nearly 25 points last season. However, the Wolfpack have a transfer in SG Trevor Lacey, who averaged 9.3 PPG at Alabama two seasons ago. Lacey was a much-heralded recruit out of high school, and has the talent to help NC State fill the scoring void left by Warren. SG Ralston Turner (10.5 PPG, 37% threes) and PG Anthony "Cat" Barber (8.5 PPG, 3.5 APG) are two guys that sacrificed their numbers for Warren last season, and they are both versatile enough to increase their points significantly. The guards of NC State will be huge this season, as the team is lacking a true go-to post presence. |

*Notre Dame-NC State Preview* =============================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Notre Dame (18-2) at North Carolina State (13-7), 6:30 p.m. EDT
The wins keep coming for Notre Dame, which is on the verge of its best start in conference play.
Its efforts on the road are a big reason why.
The No. 8 Fighting Irish try to stay unbeaten as the visiting team Sunday when they face North Carolina State.
After a disappointing first season in the ACC, Notre Dame (18-2, 6-1) is looking every bit the contender in 2014-15. The Fighting Irish are shooting 52.6 percent to rank second in the country, and their 81.9 points per game lead the conference.
"We're playing with a lot of confidence right now," said senior Jerian Grant, averaging a team-high 16.8 points and league-best 6.4 assists. "We're taking it one game at a time, but the sky is the limit for us. The one thing about us is we're still getting better."
The Irish, who weren't affiliated with a conference until 1995, are enjoying their best start in league play since opening 6-1 in the Big East in 2002-03. They went 6-12 in the ACC last season.
Notre Dame has won its first three conference road games for the first time after cruising by Virginia Tech 85-60 on Thursday. The Irish shot 49.2 percent - including 12 of 26 from 3-point range - while holding the Hokies to 38.7 percent.
Grant filled the box score with 18 points, a season high-tying seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks.
"I just don't know if there is better player than him in the country and how he kind of stirs the drink for his team," said coach Mike Brey, whose team leads the country with a 1.74 assist-to-turnover ratio. "I just don't think a lot of people in the country play like us and move the ball like us. It's just a heck of a weapon."
The Irish racked up 19 assists to just six turnovers.
"It's the way we move the ball," Grant said. "We're really unselfish. We look to make the extra pass in transition. We look for the open guy. Nobody is forcing anything. As long as we play within our game, we're good."
Notre Dame was also pleased to see Zach Auguste return to form with 16 points and eight rebounds. The 6-foot-10 junior had scored a combined eight points in the previous two games around missing one to deal with an academic matter.
The Irish now turn their attention to North Carolina State, which won last season's only matchup 77-70 on Jan. 7. Sunday marks Notre Dame's first visit to Raleigh since 1982-83, when the Wolfpack went on to win the national championship.
The Irish have split eight matchups in the all-time series, but they're 3-0 in Raleigh.
The Wolfpack (13-7, 4-3) have alternated wins and losses over their last 12 games after falling 65-60 at Miami on Thursday. Freshman Abdul-Malik Abu scored a season-high 19 points, but he was one of just two players to reach double figures for North Carolina State.
The Wolfpack went 3 of 4 from the foul line to set a season low for attempts.
Junior Trevor Lacey, averaging a team-leading 16.7 points, has scored 19.7 per game on 54.3 percent shooting over the last three at home.
North Carolina State is 1-3 against ranked opponents, with its lone victory coming 87-75 over then-No. 2 Duke on Jan. 11. The Wolfpack are 5-27 in such games since 2010-11.
