NC State will play the winner of James Madison and South Carolina who play tomorrow at Noon. If the Wolfpack win, they will be one of 16 teams advance to a Super Regional. If they lose, since the Regionals are double elimination, they would play again on Monday for a final game to decide the winner of the Raleigh Regional.
