NC State faces its toughest test of the season tonight against No. 1 Duke in the Lenovo Center.
But before tipoff, where does the Wolfpack stand in the latest NCAA Tournament projections?
According to Bracket Matrix, which aggregates 94 bracketologists, every single projection still has NC State safely in the NCAA Tournament field, even after the Wolfpack have dropped four of their last five games.
The average projected seed for NC State currently sits at 7.94, essentially right on the 8-seed line.
