NC State is 20th in Andy Katz’s Power 36

During selection week in March, the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee will select the 36 best at-large schools, to join the 32 automatic qualifiers. Each week Andy Katz will be updating his Power 36 list of schools, which will be based on results to date.

In his updated rankings today, NC State sits at #20.

20. NC State (24): The Wolfpack had an impressive week, winning at Syracuse and then at Wake Forest. Kevin Keatts would be a strong contender for ACC coach of the year if Tony Bennett hadn’t been crushing it this season. Keatts has the Wolfpack NCAA bound by playing a strong schedule and not letting it wear this team down. (NCAA)
