ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his updated Bracketology projections today, and NC State is currently slotted as a No. 10 seed, projected to face No. 7 seed Saint Louis in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Lunardi lists the Wolfpack as one of the “Last Four Byes,” meaning NC State is among the final four teams to avoid playing in the First Four.
The ACC is currently projected to send eight teams to the NCAA Tournament.
