The NC State Wolfpack have made it to the Final Four as a No. 11 seed.

NC State player props vs. Purdue

If the Wolfpack are to emerge with a win here, not only do they likely need to continue playing aggressive defense, but contributions from all four key players will be equally important — Burns Jr., Morsell, Horne, and Diarra. 

Burns Jr. is coming off a 29-point performance in the Elite Eight. He also had 24 in the Round of 32 and 16 in the first round. 

Another player who’s shown up for the Wolfpack is Ben Middlebrooks. He had 21 points in a 13-point win over Texas Tech in the first round but has been quiet since.

NC State vs. Purdue betting preview

The Wolfpack are headed into a matchup against a Boilermakers offense that possesses three key attributes: elite three-point shooting, 7-foot-4 Zach Edey, and guard Braden Smith who’s a near guarantee for double-digit assists every game.

NC State’s most formidable matchup for Edey will likely be the 6-foot-10 Diarra and the mass and strength of 6-foot-9 Burns Jr.
