I know NC State has only played 4 games (4-0) thus far, but it’s never too early to start looking at Bracketology Projections for the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
As of November 18th, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi projects the Wolfpack to be a #7 seed in the Big Dance.
NC State is 1 of 5 ACC schools projected to go dancing:
Duke – #1 seed
Louisville – #2 seed
UNC – #5 seed
NC State – #7 seed
Virginia – #9 seed
TeamRankings gives the Pack a 95% chance to make the 2026 NCAA Tournament, projecting them to be a #4 seed.
