To say that the NC State Men’s Basketball team is having a disappointing season is a gross understatement. The Wolfpack are 9-14 overall and 2-10 in ACC play, with 8 games left in the regular season.
Initially picked to finish 8th in the 2024-25 ACC Preseason Poll, NC State currently ranks 17th in the conference. KenPom ranked the Wolfpack 52nd in their preseason rankings, but they have since fallen to 102nd. Moreover, they started 91st in the initial NET Rankings and have dropped to 120th.
All the above metrics are alarming, but as I will argue, this is shaping up to be one of the worst seasons for NC State in a very long time.
