ACC Conference Predictions: NC State (7-9)

Philip Thompson: I realize that this seems like a very optimistic number of wins, but for some odd reason I feel like the Pack has a chance to reach this lofty total. I would like to say this team could easily finish the season with a (3-13) conference record.

The reason for the new found confidence is that this team seems to play much better together and it putting forth much better effort than the last few seasons. Coach Lowe’s team has already won a few games this season that no doubt would have been losses in the past.

For this season to continue to be a success, State must keep Tracy Smith out of foul trouble and keep the tempo of games at a comfortable pace. If both of these happen, then the Wolfpack should be competitive in most games.

  1. 7-9 just seems out of the realm of possibility, one of those things you just can't imagine happening. But when you run down the schedule, I've got to agree with every pick, with the possible exceptions of at Miami and VT. - Mike Sturdivant. The Arizona (sans Tracy) and Florida games should give a little more insight.

  2. NCSU is 1-2 after three games as predicted, even if the exact wins/losses does not match up.
