N.C. State has dropped seven in a row outright and is 1-7 ATS on the road. The Wolfpack have yet to demonstrate a desire to send out lame-duck coach Mark Gottfried on a winning note, with the last four setbacks by an average of 21 points. Meantime, the Jackets are 14-3 at home, including 8-4 ATS, as newcomer Josh Pastner makes his case for ACC Coach of the Year. Tech should find points plentiful against the league’s sorriest defense. The Jackets triumphed by 10 in Raleigh.
