It was not a good weekend for the Pack9. After canceling its final non-conference game during the week, NC State was stifled by UNC-Chapel Hill and dropped three straight to clinch a losing record for the second straight year. Now State heads into the final series at home against Pittsburgh needing either two wins or some help from outside to simply make the ACC Tournament.

Alec Sawyer and Andrew Ciencin take a look back on the Wolfpack's frustrating sweep in Chapel Hill, the upcoming matchup against Pitt and what needs to happen for the Pack9 to make it to the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. Listen or watch the full podcast below.
