That raises the question: Is N.C. State a good team? The answer is that they can be.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – When the brackets for the 2016 ACC Tournament were announced, it was obvious that Duke’s second-round opponent would be N.C. State.
It’s not that the Wolfpack was an overwhelming favorite to be Wake Forest in the tourney’s first round Tuesday (the two teams did after all split in the regular season) … it was just that when it comes to the ACC Tournament, Duke and N.C. State ALWAYS seem to find each other.
In fact, the Duke-State matchup is the most-played game in ACC Tournament history.
