James begins this episode by looking back at NC State's road loss at Wake Forest where very little went right for the Wolfpack. Devin Leary struggled in his first start and the defense had issues against Wake's high-powered offense.

All of that is concerning with Clemson up next. The Tigers are the best team in the ACC and with NC State's issues this will be a tough test for the Pack.

Finally, James looks back at the ACC hoops opener against Georgia Tech. An overtime loss, NC State played without star point guard Markell Johnson and post D.J. Funderburk. When should they return? How did the Pack look in defeat?
