NC State Is the 2nd Highest Ranked ACC Team in the NET After GT Win
NC State’s Men’s Basketball team moved up three spots to #25 in the NET Rankings after beating Georgia Tech 78-66 last night.
(NCAA)
The Wolfpack are now the 2nd highest ranked ACC team in the NET Rankings.
(NCAA)
NC State is currently 2-3 in Quad I games, and they have a chance to even that record on Saturday in a rivalry game in Chapel Hill, who currently is ranked 37th in the NET.
Confused about the NET?
This marks the 5th season in which the NET Rankings have been used to as the NCAA’s primary tool for evaluating teams, especially when it comes to NCAA Tournament selection time.
The NET includes more components than just winning percentage. It takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.
The number of Quadrant 1 wins and Quadrant 3/4 losses will be incredibly important when it comes time for NCAA tournament selection and seeding.

Wondering what determines a Quad I win versus a Quad II win, because it’s obviously not as simple as looking at their ranking?
Quad 1: Home games against Top 30, Neutral-site games against Top 50, and Road games against Top 75.
Quad 2: Home games against teams ranked 31-75, Neutral-site games against teams ranked 51-100, and road games against teams ranked 76-135.
Quad 3: Home games against teams ranked 76-160, Neutral-site games against teams ranked 101-200, and road games against teams ranked 136-240.
Quad 4: Home games against teams ranked 161 or worse, Neutral-site games against teams ranked 201 or worse, and road games against teams ranked 241 or worse.

Any updates on Dusan Mahorcic?
I see ESPN has us going 3-3 in the next 6 games, probably meaning they think we lose the three tough road games at UNC, WF, and UVA.
Our last 4 are going to be brutal. We’ll definitely need our bench. In one week we play UNC (Sunday), WF (Wednesday), and Clemson (Saturday). At least they are all at home. Then we finish over at Cameron. Going to be tough to have much of a winning streak going into post season.
Time to break some streaks… Pack has not won in Dean Dome since 2018.
As long as we take care of business against ND, BC, FSU, CUSE, and GT, we have a great chance of finishing with 14 or 15 wins in the conference. I would be very happy with four seed in the ACC tournament. We have survived a lot of adversity so far. One game at a time….. And can I say, This is whole more fun than last year!
Nice, but of our last 12 regular season games, we’ve still got at least seven of our toughest games. UNC and WF twice. At Duke and UVA, plus Clemson at home.
We’re playing well, but it’s not getting any easier.
GO PACK!!!!
Yes, but we can still beat UNC twice!
