NC State Wolfpack
A lot of teams played some very good college basketball this season, but NC State was certainly not one of them. It was a very rough year for them and frankly it is hard to think of anything they did positive.
The Wolfpack got beaten by the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday by a score of 89-76. They were in the game for a bit, but their opponent just proved to be too much for them to handle when all was said and done.
When you look at their schedule, it is not as if they played world beaters all the time. Do not get me wrong, they did go up against some good teams, but it was not as if the Atlantic Coast Conference was some great league this year.
In the loss to the Seminoles, I just did not feel the defense played well enough for these guys. I get they were going up against a very good offense, but the kind of effort they gave was not one that gave them much chance of winning the game.
Clemson Tigers
Clemson looked decent at times throughout the season, but I never thought they were great. Consistency was really the main issue for them, which is why it always seemed like they were trading wins and losses.
The Tigers capped off the 2021-2022 regular season by going 16-15. In a 31 game slate, you really would have liked to have seen them win 20+ games, but clearly that was not the case for them.
This crew beat the Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday by a score of 63-59. It was by no means a pretty win, but they did what they needed to do against a team that was solid this season.
The offense never really got clicking for them last time out, but I was quite impressed with the way they played defense. More times than not, if you hold your opponent to under 60 points in college basketball, you will get the victory.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Clemson ATS
NC State has been very bad at covering as of late and I can see that trend continuing when they play on Tuesday afternoon.
Clemson is not a loaded team, but they are the more talented club here and I just feel they will be too much for this Wolfpack squad to handle when they face off.
It can certainly be hard to imagine laying this number with the Tigers, but I like them here. NC State just wants their season to be over and they are going up against a team that is better them, which is never a good combination. This really comes down to lack of trust in the defense for the Wolfpack to make it all that close of a ball game.
My play is on Clemson laying the points here.
