Pack Tracks

n NC State dropped a road contest to Virginia Tech, 72-58, on Saturday afternoon. The Pack was led by D.J. Funderburk who scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Pat Andree was the only other NC State player to reach double figures with 11 points. NC State shot a season-low 31.9% from the field. It was only the second time in 16 games this season, the Pack shot under 40% from the field. n D.J. Funderburk is averaging 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game over his last four outings while shooting 63.4% from the field. The Cleveland, Ohio native has shot over 50 percent in 12 of the 14 games he's played in this season. He is shooting 64.7% from the field on the season and would lead the ACC in field goal percentage, but just misses out on qualifying to be ranked. (Funderburk averages 4.71 field goals per game and to be ranked a player needs to average 5.0 field goals per game). n Freshman Manny Bates broke the NC State single-season blocks record for a freshman in the win last week over Notre Dame, surpassing J.J. Hickson (47) and BeeJay Anya (46). At his current pace of 3.13 blocks per game, Bates would finish the regular season with 97 blocks which would break the program's single-season record of 95, which was done by Thurl Bailey during the 1982-83 National Championship season.

Game Notes

Noting NC State

n NC State returns six of its top-seven scorers from last season. n The Pack will only have 10 scholarship players in uniform in the 2019-20 season. Junior guard Thomas Allen is sitting out the season after transferring from Nebraska. Freshman guard Dereon Seabron is sitting out as an academic redshirt and junior guard Blake Harris left the program in late October. n The game against Memphis on Nov. 28 marked the first time this season NC State played more than eight scholarship players in a game. Nine scholarship players saw action against the Tigers. NC State has only had more than eight scholarship players dress in uniform for a game five times this season. Markell Johnson missed the first game (injury). D.J. Funderburk missed the first two games (suspension). A.J. Taylor has not dressed out for a game since the season-opener against Georgia Tech (injury), Danny Dixon has missed time while dealing with a knee injury and C.J. Bryce has missed the last four games with a concussion. n Redshirt freshman Manny Bates made his NC State debut on Nov. 5 against Georgia Tech. The Fayetteville native missed his senior season of high school with a shoulder injury and sat out last season after having preseason shoulder surgery. Bates' appearance against Georgia Tech was his first game representing his school since his junior season of high school wrapped up on Feb. 24, 2017 - that is a span of 985 days. n For the third consecutive season, Keatts has added two grad transfers to the roster (2017-18 Allerik Freeman (Baylor) and Sam Hunt (North Carolina A&T); 2018-19 - Eric Lockett (FIU) and Wyatt Walker (Samford). This year, the Pack has added Pat Andree and Danny Dixon. Andree comes to NC State from Lehigh. One of the top-shooters in the Patriot League, Andree averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season. Dixon averaged 7.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season at UMKC.

Wednesday Storylines

n With C.J. Bryce missing the last four games, NC State has only had three guards dressed out to play. The lack of depth has caused NC State to hold back on the typical full court pressure NC State has used under Kevin Keatts. Over the last four games, NC State has only forced opponents into 41 turnovers. The 41 forced turnovers are the fewest over a four-game stretch in the Kevin Keatts era at NC State. n Through The Citadel game on Dec. 22, NC State was forcing its opponents into an average of 16 turnovers per game which ranked in the top-50 in the NCAA. Four games later, NC State is now averaging to force opponents into 14.63 turnovers per game which ranks 128th in the NCAA. n In the first 82 games Kevin Keatts coached at NC State, only once did NC State play fewer than eight players in a game (7 against UNCG on 12/16/17). With the short bench the last two weeks, NC State has played just seven players in two of the last three games. Only two times this season (Memphis and The Citadel) has NC State played more than eight scholarship players in a game. n Miami is third in the ACC and 16th in the NCAA in fewest turnovers per game at 11.1. Last season, Miami had just seven turnovers in the Pack's win. The seven turnovers tied for the fewest forced in the Kevin Keatts era. This marks the third consecutive game NC State has played a team ranked in the top-20 in the NCAA in fewest turnovers. Notre Dame and Virginia Tech were both ranked 1st in the NCAA in fewest turnovers per game when the Pack faced them last week. NC State forced Notre Dame into 14 turnovers in a 73-68 win, but Virginia Tech had just eight turnovers (season-low for an NC State opponent) in a 72-58 loss for the Pack. n Junior forward D.J. Funderburk has been hitting the offensive glass in the last four games. The Cleveland, Ohio native had 20 offensive rebounds in the first 10 games of the season, but has 16 in the last four games. He ranks 10th in the ACC in offensive rebounds per game at 2.57 per game. Miami enters Wednesday's contest last in the ACC in rebounding margin at -6.1 per game. n Get Devon Daniels Going: In 11 wins this season, Devon Daniels is averaging 12.4 points on 52.9% shooting and 5.1 rebounds per game. In the five losses, Daniels is averaging 7.6 points on 35.9% shooting and 4.0 rebounds per game. Over the last three games, Daniels is averaging 6.7 points and shooting 33.3% from the field. n Manny Bates has had multiple blocked shots in every game this season, but Saturday was the first time this season he didn't lead NC State in blocks in a game. Devon Daniels led the Pack with three blocked shots. Bates' 50 blocked shots on the year tie for the sixth-most in the NCAA.

NC State - miami Series

n NC State leads the all-time series with Miami, 12-11. The two teams have an even 11-11 record since the Hurricanes joined the ACC prior to the 2004-05 season. n NC State has a 5-4 record against Miami at PNC Arena, but the Hurricanes have won two straight in Raleigh. The Pack's last win at home against Miami was 86-59 on Jan. 30, 2016. n Last season against Miami: NC State battled back to win at Miami, 87-82. The Pack trailed by 10 points with under 10 minutes to go, but went on a 13-0 run to take the lead and never trailed again. Markell Johnson scored 17 of his team-high 20 points in the second half. Devon Daniels added 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting.

n Bryce has three double-doubles this season, all of the 20+ point, 10+ rebound variety.

n Bryce has played for Kevin Keatts for his entire collegiate career. He signed with UNCW out of high

school and played for Keatts for two seasons. After Keatts became head coach at NC State, Bryce

announced his intention to transfer, ultimately selecting NC State and has been on all three of Keatts'

Wolfpack teams.

bench production

n NC State's bench is averaging 27.1 points per game this season and is outscoring the opponent's bench by 154 points, 433-279. NC State's bench scored a season-best 45 points in the win over The Citadel. n The Pack's bench has had at least one player score in double-digits off-the-bench in every game but two this season. D.J. Funderburk (11), Devon Daniels (4), Pat Andree (3), C.J. Bryce (3) and Jericole Hellems (1) have all had double-digit scoring performances after not starting this season. n Last season, NC State had the most prolific scoring bench in the ACC, averaging to score 29.0 points per game and outscoring the opponent's bench by 469 points.

Manny Bates emerging as one of nation's top shot blockers

n Just 16 games into his NC State career, Manny Bates is already making his mark on the NC State

record book. He currently leads the ACC and ranks seventh in the NCAA with an average of 3.13

blocks per game.

n Bates has had multiple blocked shots in all 16 games this season. He had five blocked shots in his

NC State debut against Georgia Tech on Nov. 5.

n The Fayetteville, N.C., native had a season-best seven blocked shots in NC State's win over Detroit

Mercy on Nov. 10. The seven blocked shots tied for the sixth-most in a single-game in NC State history

and ranks as the second-most in a game in the 20-year history of PNC Arena.

n Bates broke the NC State record for most blocked shots in a season by a freshman in his 15th game

of the season. At his current pace (3.13 blocks per game), Bates would finish the regular season with

97 blocked shots which would break the current single season record of 95 by Thurl Bailey in the

1982-83 National Championship season.

n Bates ranks second in the NCAA in block percentage in Ken Pomeroy's ratings. KenPom calculates

block percentage as the percentage of opponents' two-point shots that are blocked by the player

while he is on the court. Bates has a 16.7 block percentage meaning the Fayetteville native blocks

nearly 1-in-5 two-point shot attempts when he is on the floor.

Markell Johnson named acc co-player of the week

n Senior guard Markell Johnson was named ACC Co-Player of the week on Monday, Dec. 23.
