Marcus Hill - Not starting Saturday Hill is not listed amongst NC State's starting five ahead of Saturday's showdown with Wake Forest.
Impact Hill will shift to the bench as the team turns to Paul McNeil to fill his space in the starting five. The 6-foot-4 senior transfer from Bowling Green, who is averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.7 steals on 28.8 minutes per game, remains likely to see a heavy minute allotment off the bench for the Wolfpack.
