ESPN Bracketology has NC State as a rising 7 seed in NCAA Tournament

ESPN Bracketology really doesn’t mean much at this point in the season, but it’s always interesting to follow along, and see what the “experts” think of your resume.

In the most recent version, ESPN Analyst Joe Lunardi has NC State as a 7th seed, facing off against Indiana (a 10 seed).

Lunardi has 7 ACC making the cut. NC State, Virginia, Clemson, UNC, Pitt, Miami, and Duke. Obviously, UNC and Duke are getting boosted a bit thanks to their name, because Wake Forest is being left off of this list, and they are 6-2 in the conference (tied for 2nd place) and have beaten both Duke and Clemson. Acutally, Wake is even being placed below Virginia Tech, who they have listed at the 2nd 4 out.

There is so much season left to be played, so these predictions are basically meaningless, but it’s good to see that Keatts has the Wolfpack within striking distance at this point in the season.
