NC State’s Quiet ACC Title Contender | NC State Wolfpack Basketball News

Key transfers like WR Victor Snow and DBs Ondre Evans and King Mack are beefing up the defense, while a surprisingly easy schedule—avoiding top teams like Miami, Clemson, and Pittsburgh—could lead to an 11-win season and a shot at the ACC title or even the playoff. They start as underdogs against Virginia on August 29, but a win there could set the tone for a breakout campaign.
