Quadir Copeland - Comes close to double-double Copeland accumulated 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 68-66 loss to Texas.

Impact It was a debut and goodbye for the Wolfpack in the NCAA Tournament, but Copeland posted a solid stat line and was one of the team's two best players alongside Darrion Williams. Copeland, a senior guard, ends the 2025-26 season averaging a career-high in points (13.9), assists (6.5) and steals (1.8) per game while starting in each of his 34 appearances.

Impact The Wolfpack and Longhorns engaged in a tight battle that went down to the wire, but in the end, NC State couldn't extend its tenure in the tournament. Williams was the Wolfpack's top scorer in this game -- and one of three players who scored in double digits. He ends the 2025-26 season with averages of 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 33 starts.

Impact The Wolfpack couldn't move into the ACC Tournament semifinals in a seven-point loss to the Cavaliers, but that wasn't McNeil's fault by any means -- he scored at least 15 points in his two ACC Tournament games. It remains to be seen if NC State will make the NCAA Tournament, but McNeil had an impressive 2025-26 season either way. He averaged 13.9 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from three-point range in 33 appearances.
