After marathon loss, No. 21 Virginia tries to bounce back vs. NC State

North Carolina State is riding a bit of a high while No. 21 Virginia is in a rare regrouping mode as the teams face off on Saturday in Raleigh, N.C.

"We are getting more comfortable with each other and playing much harder," Wolfpack guard Quadir Copeland said. "We play like everyone is against us, and we love that mentality."

NC State (10-4, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat visiting Wake Forest 70-57 on Wednesday, a result that was the Wolfpack's second-best defensive outing in terms of points allowed.
