Twenty wins, ACC seeds on the line for rising Stanford, sliding NC State

Stanford and North Carolina State both will be shooting for a 20th victory and momentum entering the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament when they go head-to-head in their regular-season finale Saturday afternoon in Raleigh, NC.

The Cardinal (19-11, 8-9) and Wolfpack (19-11, 10-7) have been going in opposite directions of late. Stanford has moved up the ACC standings on the strength of three consecutive wins while NC State has lost three straight.

The Wolfpack have clinched a first-round bye in next week's ACC tournament.
