The in-state Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry returns Wednesday, and it comes at a crucial time for both NC State and North Carolina.
As the Wolfpack (10-15, 3-11 ACC) make the short trip to Chapel Hill, they do so with some urgency. Six games remain in the regular season, and NC State sits as the first team out of the ACC tournament as the No. 16 seed.
North Carolina (15-11, 8-6), meanwhile, has a chance to sneak into the top four and earn a two-round bye.
The Wolfpack come off Saturday's win against Boston College, snapping a nine-game skid that was capped by their worst loss of the season, a 25-point home defeat against Louisville.
North Carolina has won two of its last three, including Saturday's 88-82 win at Syracuse.

Both teams are looking for a bounce-back win when SMU and Notre Dame meet for the first time as Atlantic Coast Conference opponents on Wednesday in South Bend, Ind.
The visiting Mustangs (19-6, 10-4 ACC) are in fifth place in the league standings and squarely on the bubble to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament. SMU won five in a row before Saturday's 77-66 home loss to Wake Forest.
The Fighting Irish (11-14, 5-9), meanwhile, are heading toward a third straight losing season and have dropped four of their last five games, including a 75-60 home setback Sunday against Louisville.
The frustration level is high at Notre Dame, with coach Micah Shrewsberry knocking over a microphone following the loss to the Cardinals.
"You think I should be fired?" Shrewsberry said. "Good for you. You're allowed to have opinions. A lot of people have given up on this team and given up on me. I don't really give a damn. I believe in myself and I believe in these guys."
