Mason Miller - Sunday's availability still unknownHead coach Greg McDermott said Saturday that he doesn't think Miller (ankle) will practice and that he's still unsure of when Miller will return to action, Joel Lorenzi of the Omah...
ImpactMiller sustained what appeared to be a serious ankle injury in Saturday's first-round win over N.C. State, however, imaging on his ankle came back negative.

ImpactThe sophomore was really the only source for offense for NC State in Friday's elimination loss to Creighton. Smith has proven all season that he is a superstar in the making and a scoring machine. The guard averaged 17.9 points per game this season. If Smith chooses to play a third season for the Wolf Pack, expect another incredible season from the talented guard.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Season-high 31 points in winKalkbrenner produced 31 points (11-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 38 minutes during Friday's 72-63 win over North Carolina State.
ImpactThe junior was unstoppable scoring 31 points on 78 percent shooting from the field in Friday's win over North Carolina State. Kalkbrenner has been a force down low all season and it continued Friday as no one on NC State had an answer for him. The 7-foot-1 center looks to continue his high-level production Sunday against Baylor.
