Main Story

No. 25 NC State opens its 2026-27 season at home against Wofford on Monday, Nov. 2. Wes Moore’s experienced core includes All-ACC returners Khamil Pierre and Zoe Brooks, bolstered by transfers and a top-25 recruiting class. The Wolfpack was picked fifth in the ACC; Wofford, coming off a 16-13 season, is projected second in the SoCon.

By the Numbers
  • Monday, Nov. 2, at 5 p.m. ET
  • NC State is ranked No. 25 in the AP preseason poll and has been ranked to open 8 of the past 9 seasons.
  • Six of NC State’s 10 players return from last season.
  • NC State leads the series 3-0; its last win was 90-57 in 2021.
  • Wofford went 16-13 overall and 10-4 in the SoCon last season.
Yes, But

NC State has proven experience in Pierre and Brooks, but six returners on a 10-player roster leave limited depth. Wofford brings back its leading scorer, Gabby Mundy, and is projected to contend near the top of its conference.

What's Next

After the opener, NC State hosts Campbell on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. ET. Monday’s game airs on ACC Network Extra; the Campbell game airs on ACC Network.

Bottom Line
