Paul McNeil

ANALYSIS
McNeil has been one of the ACC's most-improved players, as he's more than tripled his minutes, scoring and rebounding averages from a season ago. The game log is a bit volatile however, though he has achieved double figures in five of his last six -- a streak that started with a 47-point explosion against Texas Southern back on Dec. 17. Saturday was his best scoring output since, and his third-best total of the year. While the shooting may be streaky, McNeil is a big reason the NCAA Tournament-hopeful Wolfpack, under the direction of new coach Will Wade, are fifth in the country in three-point shooting (40.1 percent) heading into Monday's slate of games.
