In 2001, we went to NC State on the last games of the season.

Go ahead.

They went to NC State and they lost.

They ended up in Indianapolis.

They won a national championship.

I know the story.

2010, last game of the year, or last road game of the year.

We go to NC State.

We lose.

We go to Indianapolis.

We win the national championship.

I don't want that trend to continue in 2026.

I don't want that trend to continue in 2026 because, again, sure, you can believe the superstition if you want to.

I am not calling for us to lose this game at all because I want this team to be clicking on all cylinders.

And I think one of the things that we have not really learned as a program over the last decade or so is to overcome this hump of going to Raleigh and playing well.

Like I said, it's very rare that even if we win, it's very rare that we go to Raleigh and play well against the Wolfpack.

They have had our number time and time again when we come to their home floor.

I want to absolutely ransack them on their home floor.

I want there to be no doubt that on this last Saturday-Monday double that we were prepared to go on the road, even if it's just down the road.

to play a really good game.
