Bracketology: NC State upgrades their resume in ACC Tournament

T.J. Warren is the ACC Player of the Year

If you haven't heard about the NC State Wolfpack this season, you will hear about them a lot more after tonight's victory over the Syracuse Orange in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.

The Wolfpack are now 21-12 on the season and they don't have great resume wins but they did beat Florida Gulf Coast earlier in the season. The Eagles of FGCU are the regular season champs of the Atlantic Sun conference and will most likely be in the NIT.

Then they have another good resume win against Eastern Kentucky out of the Ohio Valley Conference. Last week, the Colonels of EKU won the OVC Tournament and will be going to the NCAA Tournament. You can now add tonight's win over Syracuse to give them that great resume win.

With the Wolfpack advancing to the semifinals it at least puts them in the conversation for the NCAA Tournament. Let's not forget they also have the ACC Player of the Year in sophomore forward T.J. Warren. Warren is averaging 24.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

In tonight's big win over Syracuse, he had 28 points and 8 rebounds and played all 40 minutes. With Selection Sunday only being two days away it will be interesting to see where NC State ends up.
