NC STATE steps in right direction leads to NCAA'S

While it always seems as if the North Carolina State men’s basketball team is trying to catch up, it’s a good time to remember that the Wolfpack is ahead of schedule.

In coach Mark Gottfried’s first season, N.C. State has re-emerged with an NCAA Tournament bid that seemed unlikely when the season started. It became reasonably within reach by the time the middle of the season arrived as so many pieces were in place.

“He put a lot of confidence in us and it’s a matter of us proving him right rather than proving him wrong,” senior guard C.J. Williams said of Gottfried.

So despite a four-game losing streak in February, the Wolfpack jumped back on the fast track and won four games in a row. That was enough to put N.C. State in the NCAA Tournament field.
