North Carolina State vs. Kansas

The North Carolina State Wolfpack were a bubble team heading into the ACC Conference Tournament. They got there by losing four in a row in late February, but have responded in a big way. NC State won their final two games, and made it all the way to the ACC Title game, and just missed vs. No. 1 seed North Carolina. This team has 17 games this season vs. tourney teams. Not only did they play Carolina to the buzzer, they lost by just 5 at Duke. There is no doubt that they have proven they can stay with Kansas. They are playing their best right now, and are off a big confidence-building win vs. Georgetown. Kansas may have played themselves out of a No. 1 seed with their loss to Baylor in the Big-12 second round, and struggled to get here by escaping Purdue by just 3 points. The Wolfpack is riding high after a win at 7-0 ATS in their last seven, and the Jayhawks have looked vulnerable and are in a vulnerable spot here as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six as a favorite of -7 to -12.5. Play on NC State.
