ACC TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND: The Wolfpack?s next loss will be the final game for coach Mark Gottfried, who got a bit of a raw deal after leading the program to four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. A big part of his success came from strong runs in the conference tournament, and I expect N.C. State to put up a fight Tuesday. Clemson is the better team but has struggled to separate from inferior opponents. Look for this one to go down to the wire.
