Tennessee looks like they're peaking whereas NC State has been struggling.
I hear ya. State definitely played their best ball earlier in the season. Yet NC State struggling still resulted in a win over Syracuse to close the season and then tournament wins over Duke and FSU and being tied with 3 minutes to go against ND for the ACC championship. So I wouldn’t dance on States grave quite yet.
The games are in Raleigh where NCSU went 15-1 this season with wins over UConn, Vandy, FSU, Louisville, Syracuse, UNC and Duke. Only L being to VT.
I’m mostly just picking at yall for the poll being against my team, I understand why it’s a sexy pick. But it’s going to be a tall task for State’s former coach to come back into that arena and pull it out. (Assuming State and Tenn both advance today)
