N.C. State has missed the NCAA tournament the past two seasons. Now the Wolfpack is at a key point of its schedule that could determine its whether or not it plays in the postseason this year.
With its win over Pitt on Jan. 24, N.C. State (14-7, 4-4 ACC) matched last season’s league win total. The Wolfpack is now one win shy of matching last season’s overall wins total. N.C. State finished last season 15-17 and 4-14 in the ACC.
As is the case with many bubble teams striving to make the NCAA tournament, late January and February are the most telling portions of their seasons.
