Alright, let’s break down what makes NC State Women’s Basketball look solid through Jan 18, 2026. They’re sitting at 13-6 overall and 6-2 in conference, and here’s why they’re crushing it in key areas:
- Putting Up Points Efficiently: They’re dropping 77.5 points a game while holding teams to just 65.5—that’s a comfy +12 margin. Shooting-wise, they’re hitting .447 from the field, way better than opponents’ .388, so they’re smart about their shots, especially inside.
- Owning the Boards: Grabbing 45.1 rebounds per game vs. opponents’ 35.9 gives them a +9.2 edge. That means tons of second chances and controlling the game’s flow.
- Team Ball and Smart Plays: Dish out 15.3 assists a game (opponents only 10.9) with a solid 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio (vs. 0.9). They’re all about sharing the rock without coughing it up too much.
- Locking Down the Paint: Swatting 3.9 blocks per game compared to 3.1 for foes, which helps keep opponents’ shooting low and protects the rim.
- Getting to the Line and Cashing In: They take and make more free throws (.717 clip vs. .679), averaging 10.7 makes a game to opponents’ 7.0. Big in gritty matchups.
- Starting Strong: They dominate early—outscoring teams in the first three quarters big time, building leads and setting the vibe.
- Home Cooking and Road Warrior Vibes: 7-3 at home with packed crowds (over 5,000 fans average), and 3-1 on neutral courts. They feed off the energy and adapt well.
All in all, they’re physical, unselfish, and tough up front, which has them looking like a real threat for the remaining conference games.
