NC State Snapshot

After face planting against Virginia, back-to-back road wins look pretty good. Except for the Clemson game, KenPom has the Wolfpack favored in each game for the rest of January. The Wolfpack needs to end January on a winning streak to boost the profile going into a very difficult February. Seven wins in a row going to Dallas would be ideal.
