Impact Williams missed the Wolfpack's win over Texas Southern on Dec. 17, but he's set to limit his absence to one game and return Saturday against the Rebels. That's big for NC State, as the starting wing is in the midst of a career year, averaging 16.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Paul McNeil Jr. - Explodes for career-high 47 points McNeil provided 47 points (12-18 FG, 11-17 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 108-72 victory over Texas Southern.

Impact McNeil had an impressive performance for the Wolfpack on Wednesday, setting a new career-best mark and draining 11 of his 17 threes. He set a program record of threes made in a single game and also became the first player since the 2004-05 season to record at least 45 points, 10 boards and 11 threes in a game. McNeil had enjoyed an excellent start to the season but had cooled off a bit in recent weeks. It's clear he should recover his confidence with this epic performance.

Quadir Copeland - Sniffs triple-double Wednesday Copeland ended Wednesday's 85-45 win over Liberty with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 24 minutes.

Impact Copeland was one of four NC State players who scored in double digits in this win, but he did more than just put up points. He finished just three boards and three assists from what would've been an impressive triple-double. Copeland has scored in double digits in each of NC State's last four games, representing his longest streak of the season. He's averaging 18.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game this season.

Impact Lubin was one of four players who scored in double digits in this game, and one of two who reached the 13-point mark, with Matt Able being the other. Lubin has been a steady source of points and rebounds for the Wolfpack this season, and he's on a roll with seven straight double-digit scoring games. Over that span, he's averaging 15.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scottie Ebube - Getting start Saturday Ebube is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus UNC-Asheville, Noah Fleischman of On3.com reports.

Impact Copeland was one of three NC State players who scored in double digits, alongside Paul McNeil and Ven-Allen Lubin, but their efforts weren't enough to top the Longhorns. Copeland is having a career-best start to a season, and this was his best performance of 2025-26 to date.

Darrion Williams - Puts up 16 points in win Williams racked up 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 81-70 win over Boise State.

The senior forward, who spent the last two seasons at Texas Tech, is averaging a career-high 20.2 points per game while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor -- also a career-best mark for him.

Impact Able was efficient from the floor and also recorded figures in nearly every category, so he found a way to make a big impact off the bench. Able has been a consistent weapon in NC State's bench, however. He has scored in double digits in four of his five appearances to date.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ven-Allen Lubin - Comes close to double-double Lubin registered 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Monday's 85-74 loss to Seton Hall.

Impact Lubin had a strong showing in Monday's loss, as he led the team in both points and rebounds while ending just one rebound away from a double-double. This was the second time he ends a game just one board shy of that outcome, and this 16-point output was also a season-high mark for the senior forward.
