Wolfpack Coach Sees Postseason Tourney as Best Path
NC State coach Norman Sloan, whose Wolfpack are 25-0, says a post season tournament is the best test of who is truly the top team. State and Duke are on probation and ineligible for the NCAA tournament. The ACC tourney begins in Greensboro with State holding a first round bye and looks to shape a possible NIT or NCAA bid depending on results. Len Elmore’s foot healing is noted as he nears a possible return for Clemson.
