Perhaps some good news for NC State fans!?

WTVD’s Mark Armstrong just tweeted the following (Link):

Additionally, TheAliasTroll just posted the following in our comments section

Moneyline in Vegas just went from -2000 to -4500 (meaning risk $4,500 to win $100) for us to be in the field of 68. That’s an unheard of huge jump. Some insider info likely to cause a jump that big

Original Post
I predict BYU vs. Drexel and NC State vs. South Florida in Dayton. Make your picks below and we will track the “action” blow by blow at 6:00.

Additionally, SFN is all over a lot of bubble, brackets, and #ncstatebracketfacts over on our Twitter feed.

    the bracket project has us as a 12 seed. It is a culmination of all bracket pick sites. Plus dancecard has us in. So I’m not worried.

  2. TheAliasTroll 03/11/2012 at 4:50 PM #

    We are in.

    So what time will we know if we are in or out?

    So according to the Armstrong tweet, UNC really took a beating for that tournament loss. #1 seed all the way down to the play-in game. Amazing!

    CJL and LB please come back next year and lets have A. Jefferson come join us and we will win the acc and have a deep run in the ncaat.

  6. Wulfpack 03/11/2012 at 4:54 PM #

    I think we are definitely in and playing in Dayton.

  7. redcanine 03/11/2012 at 4:56 PM #

    Thx for the info, Troll. Vegas wouldn’t take such a risk if it wasn’t a sure thing.

    @Tampa-Pack

    haha Good one!

    I hope that “may be there” is the selection committee playing it cool or trying to be objective. Objectiveness is something lost in this era of college sports.

    Moneyline now went from -4500 to -6000!

  11. Tampa-Pack 03/11/2012 at 4:59 PM #

    We just have to get in. I’m sure we’ll make some noise, just have to be given a chance! Go PACK!

    Why am I looking at a banner ad on SFN about getting my MBA @ UNC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Karl Hess strikes again.

  14. BJD95 03/11/2012 at 5:01 PM #

    The last two games we played against Cal were certainly interesting. Wonder if any other linked tweets from other media markets will give hints on the other three….though NYC works for Seton Hall and Iona. Philly for Seton Hall or Iona, etc.

  15. BJD95 03/11/2012 at 5:02 PM #

    It would not surprise me if we won two, or lost in Dayton. Any more than 2 wins would very much surprise.

    @randygupton (Beating a dead horse here) The ads look up your cookies and adjust the ad to your preference. There have already been two posts on the forums about this (ECU and UNC ads). Have you been looking up UNC or MBA schools by chance? If so. There is your answer!

  17. BJD95 03/11/2012 at 5:05 PM #

    Looks like Dayton is about an 8 hour drive from the triangle. I really want to be at the game!

  18. BJD95 03/11/2012 at 5:07 PM #

    ESPN bracketology show is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Discussing Da U’s case, even without a resolution of Durand Scott’s status. Lunacy.

  19. Texpack 03/11/2012 at 5:10 PM #

    UNC-W to Dayton?

  20. wolfy85 03/11/2012 at 5:15 PM #

    What are the odds of Gottlieb and Katz throwing down before the bracketology show ends? They look like mortal enemies.

  21. BJD95 03/11/2012 at 5:18 PM #

    Gottlieb is REALLY stupid. Katz is just kind of a smarmy arsehole.

    I love everyone picking Duke to lose early, though I know that likely means a long devil run.

  22. wufpup76 03/11/2012 at 5:22 PM #

    I like Gottlieb – he just comes off as abrasive at times.

    To me, his opinions are untainted and honest.

    Unrelated, but if Mark Gottfried is not our coach then the furor over yesterday’s shenanigans never reaches the level that it has. It helps to have friends at Espn. Sad but true.

    Watch CBS. Much more professional with Gumble, Anthony and Davis. They aren’t even talking – just interviewing a bunch of coaches right now. We are just minutes away!

  25. ncsu1987 03/11/2012 at 5:25 PM #

    By all logic and all signs we are in. Just can’t explain the knot of fear in my belly.

    Thanks to coach, staff, and especially players that we’re even having this discussion!
