Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

NC State's season showcases a mixture of solid wins and frustrating losses that shape their tournament candidacy. Victories over teams like Florida State and North Carolina highlight their potential, but losses to Purdue and Kansas expose their struggles against top-tier competition. While their offense shows flashes of brilliance, their inconsistency, especially on defense, raises concerns. The remaining schedule presents key opportunities; games against solid teams like Clemson and a rematch with North Carolina could bolster their case significantly. However, losing to underperforming squads like Virginia could undermine their chances, making it crucial for them to finish strong to secure a place in the NCAA tournament.
