Game Preview
In a conference championship week chock full of “bid thieves,” North Carolina State was perhaps the biggest surprise of them all.
NC State entered the ACC tournament as the No. 10 seed and promptly beat five teams in five days, becoming the first double-digit seed to win the league title. The unexpected automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament got the Wolfpack the No. 11 seed in the South Region, where they will open against No. 6 Texas Tech on Thursday.
Even more impressive was the path NC State (22-14) traveled through the ACC tournament. After wins over Louisville and Syracuse, the Wolfpack took down rivals Duke, Virginia and North Carolina. That ought to have the Wolfpack feeling confident they can beat anyone in their way.
