#11 seed NC State will play #6 seed Texas Tech on Thursday night in the 1st Round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, and the game will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I’m a fan of the Wolfpack playing in Pittsburgh for a couple of reasons.
For starters, after playing 5 games in 5 days to win the ACC Tournament, it is beneficial for these players to get as much rest as possible before tipoff. Being able to play this game somewhere where the clocks are set to Eastern Standard Time is a plus.
Secondly, NC State is familiar with playing in Pittsburgh.
