A series victory over Clemson helped to solidify an at-large NCAA tournament bid for NC State, which has been riding the bubble for a long time. Taking care of BC on Tuesday and avoiding a bad loss in the process removed any shadow of a doubt. NC State is in the NCAAs, the question is just where it will be seeded.
Both Baseball America and D1Baseball have moved the Wolfpack up to a No. 2 seed, and both have the Pack landing in No. 1 national seed Oregon State’s regional. Basically that means State is perceived as the weakest of the 16 2-seeds, and actually it would probably be beneficial to be a 3-seed in a weaker host’s regional.
