CBS Ranks NC State 32nd in Preseason Poll

Matt Norlander of CBS took in the audacious task of ranking all 351 Division-I College Basketball teams, and he ranked NC State 32nd in his preseason poll.

32. NC State
Dennis Smith Jr. is my pick for top point guard in the country by season’s end. Morris will do more at Iowa State, but Smith is the better point guard overall. He’s surrounded with a lot of interesting players this season. I think NC State is way undervalued right now. Abdul-Malik Abu is a top-100 player, Omer Yurtseven should get eligible, and when he does,he’ll be one of the 10 best freshmen in the ACC. Buy on the Wolfpack.
