@@galedidwhatthat horrid stretch near the middle of the season combined with their 4-game losing streak to end regular season play is why they’re that low. We started off 11-3, got hit with injuries, and then went 6-11 in the rest of the regular season.
The 11th ranked Wolfpack of North Carolina downed the 6th seed & 2019 Final 4 Semifinalist Red Raiders of Texas Tech University & will face Oakland which might be a fun matchup to watch.
At this point I am convinced the NCAA is favoring football revenues on selection Sunday and preseason NET rankings. It's been about four or five years that they have sold a narrative that the ACC was weaker than the SEC. Even with fewer teams in the tournament, the ACC is still the best conference in basketball.
Nothing like being the first ACC team to win five straight games in the ACC Tournament (first ACC Championship for the Pack since 1987) to give you a boost in confidence..
I don't think you can call the best team in the ACC a Cinderella team. One of their top players literally fasted for Ramadan mid games and they STILL swept the conference. Elite 8 at minimum is an expectation for this team
Can you stop showing a player from the winning team on the thumbnail? Us fans overseas rely on watching these condensed games and don't want to know who won before we watch the video!
Kentucky wrecked 2 good parlays for me. I just doubled down on NC state. Its the only underdog team I knew about throughout the season that I wanted to bet in March. Good pick dude!
Just imagine a 17-14 team who wouldn’t have even made the NIT might be one of the final 16 teams in all of college basketball. If they win it all this would be the most improbable story in the history of sports!
@@jeremiahthomas8140 I remember them well, watched their whole run as a kid on TV, but my argument against them was the WAC was a one bid league and Fresno State was the one seed in the WAC, they were supposed to make the dance. NC state was a 10 seed in the acc in a 4 bid league. Had to win 5 games in 5 days against juggernauts. Fresnos run was improbable but they were supposed to win the WAC and did. State wasn’t even supposed to make the NIT. Still a crazy run by Fresno though.
@@NCSUrebelCSA and this was his first game back after missing 10 games and getting well, bullied, in the paint was not ready for 2 better guys in the paint to play against him
This NC State team is REALLY good. Look at the smile of Horne everytime he scores. They are enjoying the game.
Definitely have the talent.
yes, I agree. NC State clearly was a better team than an 11 seed though, they just won the ACC with wins over Duke and UNC.

It will be fire
@@galedidwhatthey got hot. Regular season performance was meh.
I had nc state beating Kentucky in the second round to make sweet 16 but now they have an easier path with Oakland
Can talk about Horn and Burns all day long but Diarra is really a huge difference maker for this program. They have all the pieces to make a deep run.
and that they did.
BIG MAN PUTTING IN THE WORK! FOR NC STATE
He is so quick to be so big ,he is unstoppable !
Big man allowed to foul at will helps a lot.
his footwork is gennly really good. Super skilled player
@@binderfan436yeah they are hacking DJ Burns every play! Even the announcers were asking where the fouls are!
Lil' Shaq
NC State has a new fan. I was really impressed with their play in the conference tournament. Hoping they go deep in the bracket.
NC State played lights out defense all game. If they defend like that all tourney its going to be tough for anyone to beat them
Duke fan here.....keep it up state.
Virginia Tech fan here, rooting for all of y’all. Prove the media wrong

Coming for Duke now
Little did you know that State would take Duke out.
Nc state 6 games in a row now unreal.
NC State definitely had alot of momentum going into this game.🏀

@@royhill5202I did not realize it had been that long since they won anything.
@@jeremiahthomas8140 yep, they went to the Championship a few times since 87, but lost twice to UNC (97 and 07) and twice to Duke (02 and 03).
NC State play old school basketball 🏀 feed the post. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm a new fan of north Carolina state. LETS GO BABY WOOOO.....
Baby Escalade doing work
NC State is actually the best team in the nation rn.
That color commentator was crying every time Burns bullied his way into the paint 💀💀💀💀
NC state gotta offensive lineman out there bullying mfers
Do burns a freaking beast
if Duke gets knocked out, i'm pulling for Big Burns the rest of the way.
Ironically, Burns & Co. took out Duke again.
so happy i got to see this game in person!!! go pack!
Number 30 on NC state looks more like a defensive lineman for a football team than he does a basketball player
And he lil boy them too😂😂😂
You upset he posterized your boys?
@@NCSUrebelCSA posterized 😂😂😂Dude didn't have a single dunk. Only reason he's on a poster is he doesn't fit on a normal sized photo. 😂😂😂
@@TheGerouldit’s actually because they only include the winning team on the poster
@@TheGerouldur not funny
Nc state going to be the Cinderella this tourney. These dominate mid major teams usually don’t perform well
I never trust the mountain west
It's 83 all over again ,but with more talent !

Womp womp
2nd game in a row State conceded a 3 right at the half
Pack Nation
#11 NC State will face #14 Oakland on Saturday in Pittsburgh in the South Region 7:10pm on TBS/TruTV
Classic 6/11 upset of a school that's a lot stronger than their ranking. NC State really has a chance to make some noise.
Survive and advance
State Winning it all
Let's go babeyyy...... NCS WOOO........
TEXAS TECH GONE 😭
TEXAS TECH GONE 😭
Texas Tech looks weird in all white uniforms, NOT FIERCE at all
Burns remains me of Oliver Miller with a legit low post game and a three ball
Middlebrook and Diara are both pretty impressive.
Great job by both teams ❤🎉😊
Nc state probably more ready then any team no signs of fatigue in tournament
Excellent game
Yes North Carolina State!
After winning the Acc chip the Pack should have been ranked higher but an 11 seed might have been perfect for an easy route through the tourney
nothing in this tournament is easy.
Great win for state.
The color commentary guy for the Pittsburgh region sounds like Taz...
34 nc state. Laurri markkanen ?
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Kentucky has a knack for bustin up brackets, which is known as BUB.
I just want to say to Kentucky...Hey BUB!!!
But how could a six seed in the big 12 lose the the lowly Wolfpack of the ACC? I thought that ACC was bad?
To be fair, Virginia got crushed in the play-in game. But yeag, it’s frustrating ACC deserves more respect
Go Pack
Bruh I sweated the end of this game so hard… I bet NC state with 146+ points
Kentucky wrecked 2 good parlays for me. I just doubled down on NC state. Its the only underdog team I knew about throughout the season that I wanted to bet in March. Good pick dude!
@@uniteuntie2661throughout the season we lost so many ACC games. It was not fun to watch.
Let’s go pack❤
NC State...ALL the WAY Baby>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wolfpack bullied the Raiders in low post it was shameful.
What happen to the loblows?
Biggest Upset

That Fresno State College World Series championship would still top this. A 4 seed in baseball is like a 13, 14, 15, or 16 seed in basketball.

@@midwestdrew775 I got you. That makes sense.
@@jeremiahthomas8140Coastal Carolina in 2016 was quite improbable in its own right too.
Well, they made it fun and all the way to the Final Four. What a ride for my Pack!
Let’s go state
how did Burns get into foul trouble? i didnt know they called fouls on Burns. 🤔
7 footer can bother burns who is undersize and doesn’t have length but he is so crafty and has power
Burns is on a mission ,if he can't score he is a great passer and quicker than most centers his size !!!!
GO PACK ❤
Wolfpack good win
He who plays defense will win. Every time.
...and so it began.
Well there goes my bracket
Oakland didn’t do it for you?

but real talk
We’ll see about that Saturday
@@parkerajax9320 We did see about that. Go Pack!
Texas Tech looked like a 14 seed
i think NC State was playing like a 3 seed, too
@@galedidwhatI agree, but the big 12 needs to prove their positioning and they haven’t. NC state is a solid all around team
@@RyanDyer4 yeah and BYU had a poor performance in the big 12 too. But I'm a baylor fan so hopefully bayllr beats Colgate
@@galedidwhatthere are certainly good big 12 teams.. Baylor being one of them. Just not as deep as the selections
Well winner of this goes on to play a 14 seed
