    RALEIGH, N.C. -- NC State will begin the Will Wade era with only 18 games in ACC play this upcoming season, with the ACC announcing the full opponents on Wednesday. The Wolfpack will play home-and-home games with only Wake Forest and Virginia for the 2025-26 campaign, with the rest of the league play being single games at home or on the road. The only team the Pack will not play will be California, which comes one season after getting swept in the season series by the Golden Bears.
