North Carolina State and visiting Wake Forest hold vastly different short-term goals heading into Saturday afternoon's Atlantic Coast Conference meeting in Raleigh, N.C.

One team has won four of its last five games while the other has lost four of its last five contests, but on Saturday afternoon, they’ll battle in an in-state matchup

A wounded NC State Wolfpack was too much for Wake Forest at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon. Fresh from getting routed by North Carolina earlier in the week, the Wolfpack had an 18-2 run late in the game to beat the Demon Deacons 85-73 in a crucial ACC game.
