          NC State Wolfpack

          2013-14: 22-14 (9-9 ACC)
          In-conference offense: 1.04 points per possession (9th)
          In-conference defense: 1.10 points allowed per possession (12th)

          When you have your league's ninth-best offense and 12th-best defense and you make the NCAA tournament anyway, you're doing something right. Maybe that "something" is scheduling to the RPI, or maybe it's winning the big ones. Whatever it is, keep doing it.
