NC State Wolfpack News

Quadir Copeland - Leads with 16 points in loss Copeland chipped in 16 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 85-84 loss to Stanford.

Impact Copeland led NC State's scoring efforts in the close regular-season finale, but his efforts weren't quite enough to snag a victory. Still, the 6-foot-6 senior will close out the last three games averaging 14.7 points and 5.3 assists on 32.3 minutes per game.

Darrion Williams - Scores team-high 17 points Williams notched 17 points (6-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 93-64 loss to Duke.

Impact Williams didn't have his best shooting performance Monday, as evidenced by the fact that he needed 17 shots to score 17 points. Williams should be a key offensive player for NC State in the regular-season finale against Stanford on Saturday.

Ven-Allen Lubin - Posts double-double Lubin contributed 24 points (8-10 FG, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 38 minutes during Saturday's 96-90 OT loss to Notre Dame.

Impact Lubin has scored in double digits in all but two games in ACC play this season, and the senior forward has been on a roll of late. He's carrying a streak of 13 games with double-digit points, although this was just his second double-double in that span. Over that 13-game stretch, Lubin is averaging 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Musa Sagnia - Good to go Monday Sagnia (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Duke.

Impact Sagnia will shed a questionable tag to face the Blue Devils. The backup center sustained an ankle injury in Saturday's contest and didn't return. However, it looks like he's put the issue behind him. Sagnia is averaging 2.6 points and 3.0 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per game this season.

Musa Sagnia - Questionable vs Blue Devils Sagnia (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Duke.

Impact Sagnia suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's contest against Notre Dame and was unable to return following just two minutes of action against the Fighting Irish, so his questionable status hardly comes as a surprise. The 6-foot-10 freshman has averaged 2.6 points and three rebounds per game across 29 appearances for the Wolfpack this season.

Paul McNeil Jr. - Scores 22 in blowout defeat McNeil supplied 22 points (6-16 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 90-61 loss to Virginia.

Impact The Wolfpack looked overmatched in this loss to the Cavaliers, but McNeil was the only notable performer for them. This was the third time he's reached the 20-point mark in his last seven contests, and he's firmly entrenched as the Wolfpack's primary offensive threat.

Quadir Copeland - Leads team to rivalry win Copeland racked up 20 points (7-16 FG, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 82-58 win over North Carolina.

Impact Copeland was undoubtedly the best player on the floor Tuesday, and he carried the Wolfpack to an impressive win over a depleted UNC squad. Copeland has been playing well of late. Over his last 10 games, the star guard is averaging 14.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game despite shooting just 28.6 percent from three.

Scottie Ebube - Ruled out Tuesday Ebube (undisclosed) is out Tuesday against North Carolina.

Impact Ebube was listed as questionable after missing the Wolfpack's collapse against Miami on Valentine's Day, but he'll now miss a second straight contest. The senior forward has played in just three games -- totaling nine minutes -- since the calendar flipped to 2026.

Scottie Ebube - Tabbed questionable Ebube is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against North Carolina due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Ebube has been a fringe rotation piece lately, and his availability is at risk due to an unspecified injury. The senior center has appeared in 12 games, averaging 1.5 points and 1.0 rebounds across 4.0 minutes.

Paul McNeil Jr. - Bounces back offensively McNeil closed with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 77-76 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact McNeil put up a rare goose egg on the scoreboard earlier this week in a blowout loss at Louisville, so it was good to see the sophomore wing get his offense back on track, even if it was in defeat. McNeil leads the Wolfpack with 81 three-pointers made and is hitting them at a 43.5 percent clip, but being a player whose overall output hinges on perimeter success is a formula for a volatile game log from a fantasy standpoint.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Darrion Williams - Tough shooting stretch Williams had 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 77-76 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact Williams is in the midst of one of his bigger slumps of the year, so it comes as little surprise the Wolfpack have lost back-to-back games. Over his last three contests, Williams is averaging 7.7 points on 9-of-34 shooting (26.5 percent), and that stretch surprisingly comes off a run of three games with 20 or more points. NC State remains on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble as of Sunday, but Williams & co. have the opportunity to solidify that with a resume-building opportunity at home against North Carolina on Tuesday.
