Scores 15 points in loss Daniels recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists and three steals over 36 minutes in Thursday's 80-69 loss against Saint Louis.

Impact Daniels has scored at least 15 points in three of the team's first four games of the season, and all signs point towards him being one of the Wolfpack's biggest offensive threats all season long. He is currently averaging 17.3 points per game.

Ties season-high mark in scoring Beverly recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and a steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 80-69 loss against Saint Louis.

Impact Beverly has now scored exactly 13 points in two of his four games this season, but he has notched a combined 11 points in the other two contests. Beverly might have a big role Saturday against Campbell once again given how depleted the Wolfpack has been of late.

Puts up 20 points with eight blocks Bates registered 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, eight blocks and a steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 80-69 loss against Saint Louis.

Impact Bates has been quite inconsistent with his scoring figures -- two double-digit and two single-digit point performances -- but he's been an absolute monster on defense. He is averaging 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game through his first four games of the season.

Unavailable vs. Billikens Farthing did not travel with the team for Thursday's game against St. Louis for undisclosed reasons, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Farthing, along with four other Wolfpack players, did not travel to St. Louis. Farthing's absence shouldn't impact NC State's rotation, however, as he's logged just eight total minutes through three games.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't make trip to St. Louis Dowuona did not travel with the team for Thursday's game against St. Louis, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Dowuona is joined by four other Wolfpack players that didn't make the trip for unknown reasons. The freshman center has played a small role thus far this season, scoring just two points while logging 28 total minutes through three games.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't travel with team Graham did not travel with the team for Thursday's game against St. Louis, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Graham is joined by four other NC State players in being unavailable Thursday for unknown reasons. Graham's absence, however, shouldn't have a substantial impact on the Wolfpack given that he's played a total of seven minutes through three games.

Not available Thursday Hayes did not travel with the team and is not available for Thursday's game against St. Louis for undisclosed reasons, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Hayes is joined by DJ Funderburk and three other NC State players on the list of unavailable players Thursday. Though Hayes has come off the bench thus far this season, he will certainly be missed Thursday. The freshman guard averages 11.3 points and 5.3 assists through his first three collegiate games.

Out Thursday Funderburk is not available for Thursday's game against St. Louis due to undisclosed reasons, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Funderburk will be joined by Cam Hayes in being unavailable for the tilt against the Billikens. It's unclear when the center could return to the court, but the Wolfpack's next scheduled game is Saturday against Campbell.

Michigan contest called off Wednesday's game between N.C. State and Michigan will not take place as scheduled, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports reports.

Impact This will be the second straight game that has been moved for the Wolfpack as they are dealing with COVID-19 issues within the program. This game was part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and it's unclear if it will be rescheduled for a later date. We'll have to wait and see if Daniels and his teammates will take the court against FAU on Saturday.

Matchup against Huskies called off Saturday's game against Connecticut has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Daniels has started two of the first three games for the Wolfpack this season, but the team will be unable to take the court at Mohegan Sun on Saturday. It's unclear whether the team will be able to play Wednesday against Michigan.

Scores team-high 18 points Daniels registered 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 90-59 win over UMass.

Impact Daniels was one of three Wolfpack players that scored more than 15 points, and he managed to carry the offense once again -- something that has happened in two of the team's three games to date this season. Expect the senior to remain one of NC State's top scoring threats throughout the season based on how strong he's started the year.

Big game off bench once again Hayes recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists and a steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 90-59 win over UMass.

Impact Hayes started on the bench for the third straight contests, but the fact that he ranked third in minutes played -- behind only Devon Daniels and Jericole Hellems -- suggests the coaching staff still rates him highly and are just taking him slowly. The freshman has now posted back-to-back double-digit scoring games and his figures have been rising steadily, so it might be just a matter of time before he earns his first college start. That might happen as soon as Saturday at Connecticut.

Fills stat sheet Thursday Hellems registered 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 90-59 win over UMass.

Impact Hellems was one of three Wolfpack players that recorded 10 or more points and, while doing it at a very accurate rate, he also provided an impact on both ends of the court. It's only been three games into the season, but Hellems has been excellent for UNC State so far with back-to-back 17-point games following an underwhelming season-opening performance.
