After it swept Wake Forest in the final regular season series, NC State clinched the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament set for this week at Trusit Field in Charlotte.
The Wolfpack (32-19, 18-11 ACC) drew Pool C in the event, joined by No. 6 seed Duke and No. 10 seed Virginia Tech. Each team will play the other two teams in the pool, with the best record advancing to the league semifinals Saturday afternoon.
Now, NC State knows when it will kick off its postseason slate.
The Pack will square off with Virginia Tech on Wednesday night at 7 p.m., while it will play Duke on Thursday night at the same time. Both games are scheduled to be broadcast on the ACC Network.
NC State will know which team won the game between Duke and Virginia Tech by the time it takes the field for its battle with the Hokies. To move on to the semifinal round, the Wolfpack will need to beat the winner of that game, while it could afford to drop a contest to the loser of the Blue Devils and Hokies.
Should the Wolfpack advance to the semifinals, NC State would play the winner of Pool B at 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. Pool B is made up of No. 2 seed Clemson, No. 7 seed Louisville and No. 11 seed Miami. The semifinal game is set to be broadcast on the ACC Network.
The ACC Championship game is scheduled for Sunday at noon and it will be aired on ESPN2.
