In order for NC State to even have a chance of squeaking into the 2025 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament, they needed to defeat Pitt in their final regular season game at home tonight. The Wolfpack beat the Panthers 71-63.
NC State entered the game with a 7% chance of making the ACC Tournament, but with the win, PlayoffStatus.com increases their odds to 19%. That percentage will increase significantly if Notre Dame loses at Stanford tonight.
In a bizarre statistic, NC State’s 7 seniors scored all 71 of their points this evening.
The Wolfpack controlled the game from the jump, allowing Pitt to only hold the lead for 1 minute and 29 seconds.
