Can NC State make it to March Madness 2024? Breaking down Wolfpack's NCAA Tournament odds

The NC State Wolfpack has been a decent program this season with a 21-14 overall record. However, the team has to step up if they are going to make a run for the 2024 National Championship. What do we know about their chances of making it to March Madness?

Can NC State make it to March Madness 2024?

The NC State Wolfpack can still theoretically make it into March Madness this season but the projections say they will have to win the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament to do so. The winner of the tournament gets an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, so if the Wolfpack win, they will automatically be in March Madness.

The Wolfpack have looked dominant in the ACC tournament so far, knocking off second-seeded Duke, and third-seeded Virginia back-to-back. NC State will now face UNC for the ACC title, and another upset will guarantee their spot in March Madness.

However, a loss against UNC does not spell the end of their season, as they'll still be in contention as a fringe team owing to their ACC tournament performance.
