Sometimes I see positive takes on the basketball team from impartial sources and feel like I’m missing something, which may just be a sign that I’m conditioned to extremely gun-shy toward basketball optimism. I blame the basketball results from this entire century.
But it is decidedly not crazy to believe that NC State could finish in the top six of the ACC this upcoming season, as the very accurate and true people at Sports Illustrated explain in their preseason conference power rankings. When I sit back and actually think about it, that seems like a fine opinion.
