NC State is in the South Region but will begin its NCAA tournament out west, in Denver. Get the oxygen tanks ready! For me, I mean. I’m about to pass out from excitement.
Tip time between No. 6 Creighton and No. 11 NC State has been set for 4 p.m. ET on Friday, with television coverage on TNT. We’ll have Lisa Byington, Steve Smith, and Avery Johnson on the call. Here’s the full schedule.
State will be up against a partisan crowd, since Denver is drivable from Omaha, though given the other teams that’ll be there, I see no reason to expect the entire building will be out to get us.
