In the over two decades that I’ve been watching NC State basketball, one thing I have always hoped for is to get to the point as a program where the “bubble” talk goes away and the team can comfortably expect to be in the NCAA field. Another year, and this Wolfpack team has taken it a step further by playing themselves to the wrong side of the bubble. The team has their work cut out for them if they’d like to make a late season push and make a case for their inclusion in this year’s tournament.
Finding a way back to the bubble is not out of the question, however.
