The Wolfpack saw a rather significant drop a week ago, but were one of the highest risers in this week's rankings.
NC State pulled off two wins at home against Miami and Georgia Tech, as they followed up a three-game losing streak with two solid wins to build some momentum.
In order to get back into the ACC race, the Wolfpack will have to play lights out basketball over the next few weeks. Even though they've been a bit streaky, maybe the two wins this past week will help get them back on the right track.
