North Carolina State head coach Elliott Avent joins the show to talk about his first-place Wolfpack, who took a 1 1/2 game lead in the standings after a sweep of then No. 3 Clemson, which also boosted NC State into the top 25 of the RPI and into serious host consideration. We talk to Avent about that series win, about how he and his staff have created one of the most consistent programs in the nation and about one of his biggest coaching wins, helping with the creation of the annual Victory Over Cancer game to support pediatric cancer research.

Later in the episode, ACC BSB, Etc. podcast host Daron Vaught joins the show to talk about the Wolfpack and the rest of the Atlantic Coast Conference as we head into the final three weeks of regular-season action. We discuss the most intriguing storylines in the ACC this season, the top assistant coaches in the league and look at the potential pitcher and player of the year in the conference.
