NC State is a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row and the second time in program history. The Wolfpack will open on Saturday against the winner of Longwood/Mount St. Mary’s.
In a bit of an oddity, the Pack’s second round opponent will be a team it has already seen this season. NC State played No. 9 Kansas State on Nov. 19 (and beat KSU 90-69) and played No. 8 Washington State on Nov. 27 (and beat the Cougars 62-34). Encouraging results, at least.
NC State will host the first and second round games at Reynolds Coliseum.
