No. 11 North Carolina State over No. 6 Texas Tech
Amber Searls-USA TODAY Sports
This should make for one of the more compelling matchups of the Round of 64. North Carolina State, after securing its first ACC title since 1987 through a remarkable five-game winning streak in the ACC tournament, is set to face Texas Tech. Texas Tech, heavily dependent on three-point shooting, shows vulnerabilities in crucial areas like turnovers, rebounds, and free throws. Historically, similar teams have faced early exits in the tournament, so we think NC STate’s Cinderella run will continue for at least one more game.
