nc state +3: can't recall the last time i posted a play on the wolfpack, as i usually try to stay away from recommending a play on them because of my built in bias. today i'm willing to make an exception. just 11 days ago nc state was riding high after 3 straight acc victories. at 14-4, they stood alone in 4th place in the acc looking well positioned for the acc and ncaa tournaments. suddenly, a road loss to ga tech and a bitter home loss to unc, in a year where the tar heels were obviously struggling, and now the conversation has shifted to whether another mid season swoon would cause the pack to again miss the ncaa. also, just as suddenly, the honeymoon was over for coach kevin keatts, as many wolfpack loyalists started to question whether whether keatts was the right person to lead nc state back to the glory of years past. its been awhile since state had as much riding on one game as this one against the cardinals. a win will define and revitalize this year's team; a loss would probably pave the way for another futile campaign, and could be the beginning of the end for keatts' tenure in raleigh. keatts has a 2-1 record in raleigh against top ten teams, i hope for his sake its 3-1 after today.
