NC State and Lacey could be dangerous.

They're a weird team. They won at UNC and U of L. Beat Duke in Raleigh.

Yet, they were buried at Boston College less than two weeks ago. They were spanked at home by Clemson, lost at Wake Forest, and nearly lost at Georgia Tech. They also have home losses to Wofford and Cincinnati.

NC State may be the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde team of this years tourney.

GBB!!!

i don't worry to much abut them. they were better last year with TJ Warren and still lost their 1st round game to St. Louis. Gottfried is terrible, and NC State always finds a way to lose

They will likely be in our bracket as a 9, 10, 11, or 12.

Won't be in Virginia or Duke's bracket. So definitely wouldn't be a fun team to play in tht 8/9 game if they get that high.

I hope they are. I fully expect OSu vs. NC ST as our 8/9. I feel sorry for the winner, the loser gets off easy

They absolutely are a tough team if we face them. But, playing at Yum and likely a virtual home game (after all when we play UL we have more fans there than they do), I don't fear a loss.

Deep team and kind of fun to watch.
Their guards are more than capable of building a tourney run, as long as "Stretch Armstrong" plays decent in the middle

There are a bunch of dangerous teams out there!

We had just be ready to play with maximum effort and take care of business!

Yes but UCON was destroyed by louisville last year and still won the NC. Sometimes a team just gets on a roll against the right seeding.

Agree totally. This is the key for a nice run in tournament and then we won't be guaranteed a win.

They are one of a number of teams out there with the potential to pull off a big upset. Or lose their first game. Utah's better, but they are likely going to be a 4. That's a team that has a lot of talent and potential, but they lost 3 of their last 5, and they to could flame out. I'm just glad we're 3 days from Sunday, and in the meantime have a bunch of games with a lot of the teams in play. Should be a great next 3 days of college basketball. Oh, and I think UK plays tomorrow as well!

They are the type of team that can get up for a big game, but can easily tank against a crap team.


As a Duke fan, I hate those teams. I have a feeling you guys know the feeling too.

There are a bunch of dangerous teams,some of them will beat each other before we ever see them.We could end up playing a few 8's,9's,12's or 13's.

Yeah, I watched them and was hoping they're not in our bracket. Freaking Virginia! They don't deserve a one seed and they're going to ruin everything. Hoping NC State gets put in that group or the south.

Why would Virginia not deserve a one seed? They lost to UL with their key guard out and lost at home in the last few seconds to the second ranked team in the country? Plus, they play a hell of a defense.

Yeah, they look so tough tonight. NC ST does not look so good when Duke actually shows up and puts forth effort for 40 minutes unlike in the regular season meeting.

And I am sure Calipari will have trouble outcoaching the GREAT Gottfried, even though UK has much better players and would be playing in Louisville in a virtual home game.

You must have issues with reading comprehension. Also, congrats on being an armchair QB. Teams in the 7-10 seed range are always inconsistent. That's why they are in that spot.

Lighten up. They could beat Gonzaga. I'll give you that.
