NC State opens on vault whereas Ball State is on bars. NC State’s vault NQS this 12 months is 49.075 and Ball State’s bars NQS is 49.125, so Ball State will count on a slight lead after one, and if Ball State goes to make up the rating hole, will hope that lead is definitely slightly greater than slight.
