This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our ACC Tournament Dominator. NC State rolled past Virginia Tech on Wednesday by 20 points in the opening round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament which sets up a rematch that the Wolfpack were hoping for. Motivation in the tournaments is not a problem for teams but sometimes there is some extra juice added and that is the case here as NC State lost its final home game of the regular season to Clemson by 25 points which was by far its worst loss of the season and only its second home loss on the season. This came after losing the first meeting in Clemson by 14 points so this is a double circle. The Tigers were one of the hottest teams early in the season as they opened 18-4 including 7-0 and 10-1 starts in the conference and then they came back down to earth. Clemson went 4-5 over its last nine games and other than the NC State win, the other victories were against Florida St., Syracuse and Notre Dame whose seasons are all already done. The Tigers were awesome at home with a 15-1 record but just 7-8 away from home. 10* (725) NC State Wolfpack
