The last two wins for the NC State men have done a lot for their NCAA tournament prospects, as both count as quad-one wins. Joe Lunardi went from having State off the bubble on the wrong side to off the bubble on the right side—that is, solidly in the field.
Of the 61 bracket projections tracked by Bracket Matrix, NC State is currently in 53 of ‘em, with a high of a six-seed and a low of a 12 in a couple cases (one of the latter hasn’t been updated since last week).
It averages out to a nine-seed, basically, which is some very familiar territory for this program.
