N.C. State Basketball Enters ACC Tournament on a Skid, Seeking March Madness Magic

N.C. State basketball, under coach Will Wade, enters the ACC Tournament this week, aiming to secure a March Madness bid after a disappointing regular season. The team, which ended with four consecutive losses, sits on the tournament bubble.

Despite the setbacks, the Wolfpack has a history of tournament success, including their 1983 national title and Virginia Techs 2022 ACC run. Coach Wade, who assisted VCUs Final Four team in 2011, believes in the teams potential to close out games and make the big dance.

Veteran walk-on Jordan Snell, a member of the 2024 Final Four team, brings calm to the locker room and sees parallels between this years team and the 2024 squad. He emphasizes that every team hes been on has ended on a skid, but a new season starts now, and he can help steady things.

The team faces a rematch with Stanford or Pittsburgh in Charlotte, with close losses in recent games coming down to a possession or two. Motivation from these misses could fuel the run they desperately need to secure a March Madness bid.
