NC State Checks In At No. 40 In Initial NET Rankings

The NCAA released its initial NET rankings on Monday, and NC State under first-year head coach Will Wade checked in at No. 40 nationally.

NC State (5-2) is currently 0-1 in Quad 1 games and 2-1 in Quad 2 games with a 3-0 mark in Q3/Q4 matchups.  

The remaining non-conference schedule will also give the Pack more opportunities for Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins.  Here is a look at how the rest of the non-conference schedule sets up for the Wolfpack with three more Q1/Q2 games left to play.

Also, the ACC is in a much better spot this season. 

Eight teams are currently ranked inside the Top 50 of the NET: Duke (No. 2), Louisville (No. 6), UNC (No. 26), Virginia (No. 31), Clemson (No. 34), Miami (No. 38), SMU (No. 39) and NC State (No. 40).

Here is a look at how NC State’s ACC schedule lines up based on the initial NET rankings.

So in conference there are, as of now, seven Q1 and five Q2 remaining games for the Wolfpack with just one Q4 game (Georgia Tech).
