Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

NC State's path to the tournament is marked by a mixed bag of results. While they've secured some victories, such as their win over Florida State and a solid showing against Wake Forest, the losses—including tough games against Purdue, Kansas, and North Carolina—highlight their struggles against higher-ranked opponents. Their inconsistency is evident in their offensive and defensive rankings, which show they can perform well in certain games but fail to maintain that level. Upcoming matches against teams like Pittsburgh and Syracuse will be crucial; a strong finish in these contests could enhance their tournament resume, but continued struggles could jeopardize their standing.
