Here are NC State and Stanford's rankings among 2024 tournament teams through 2 games:

Stat NC St/Stanford
Offensive Rating 20/6
Defensive Rating 10/18
FG% 39/13
2pt% 33/11
3pt% 34/14
EFG% 37/13
Points Per Play 17/7
Points Per Scoring Attempt 32/12
Asst/TO 47/11
Pace 42/41
Per game:
Points 24/4
Points Allowed 7/25
ORB 50/38
DRB 3/9
TRB 7/13
Asst 40/8
TOV 1/22
Stl 48/36
Blk 18/4
PF 10/27

Some of the stats above are distorted due to the fact that Stanford played that (very high scoring) overtime period, but it's good to see our offensive rating look comparatively good.  The Massey defensive ratings of the teams we faced in the first two rounds were fairly similar:

NC St vs...
Chattanooga 65
Tennessee 50

Stanford vs..
Norfolk St. 80
Iowa St. 54

Looks like NC State doesn't turn the ball over, but they also don't get many assists.  So just a lot of hero ball with that speed? Interesting that the pace is nearly identical for both teams.
