NC State’s Men’s Basketball team beat Appalachian State on Sunday to improve to 10-3, and they moved up to #32 in the updated NET Rankings yesterday.
For comparison, NC State ranked 31st in the 1st NET rankings last year, and finished 34th. Finishing 34th last year, you would have assumed the Wolfpack was in a good position to be an at-large selection for the NCAA Tournament, since the NET Ranking replied the RPI as the evaluation tool of the selection committee. We know how that worked out.
In the 1st NET Rankings of this year the Wolfpack were ranked 50th.
