DALLAS, TX (WNCN) — No. 11 NC State is the lowest-seeded team left in the NCAA Tournament, but with their major conference pedigree and national championships in their history, they don’t fit the mold for the typical “Cinderella” team that often emerges at this time of the postseason. Still, to keep their run going, the Wolfpack will have to continue to knock off top teams. Up next for NC State (23-14) is No. 2 Marquette (26-9). The two teams will face off in a South region Sweet 16 game at
American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday night. The game, which is set to tip off at 7:09 p.m., can be seen right here on CBS 17. The Golden Eagles knocked out No. 15 Western Kentucky and No. 10
Colorado to punch their ticket to Dallas. The Wolfpack defeated No. 6
Texas Tech and No. 14 Oakland to advance to the tournament’s second week. NC State and Marquette have played each other five previous times, with the Wolfpack holding a 3-2 advantage in the series.
