havent seen one person say anything besides nc st. im sorta torn on this game and wont be betting it for sure, but im a little surprised at all the nc st love. san diego st did manage to win the mountain west, which was pretty strong this season, nc st kinda snuck in at the end.
NC State is hot right now. They got Lorenzo Brown and a beast in C.J. Leslie with a 3 pt shooter in Scott Wood. If the tournament started over a month ago this team wouldn't even make it because they weren't good. Something has gotten in them and they are playing their best right now. I'm willing to take my chances with State making a sweet 16 or possible elite 8 run.
the fact thats keeping me off nc st is that they probably arent even here if they dont beat a hurt/fading virginia team in the acc tournament. they gave unc a nice run, doesnt impress me without henson and when the coach basically says he hates conference tournaments. they have some nice players and gottfried has done a good job in his first season.
I saw them play NMU twice and they could not score two buckets in a row. They either have a bad offensive team or NMU is the second coming of the 85 Hoyas.
