March Matness is upon us, every college wrestling fan's favorite time of the year. The NC State wrestling team closed out one tournament with another ACC trophy, and now the Wolfpack focuses on earning more hardware at the 2024 NCAA Championships.

NC State found itself in a rather unfamiliar position as the Wolfpack walked off the mat at the Collegiate Wrestling Duals in Nashville Tuesday night. The Pack was on the wrong end of the scoreboard in the final dual of the event.

The NC State Wolfpack has been busy since their season opened on November 1. The Pack has started out a perfect 7-0 in duals, outscoring its foes 287-30. In those duals, NC State’s current 10 starters went a combined 48-3 in their matches.

Since the 2016 season, North Carolina State has established itself among the nation's elite programs.

This is the first installment of a multi-part series highlighting wrestlers, programs and conferences that overcame odds and obstacles to shine at the NCAA Championships in Detroit.

After last week's announcement that Cary Kolat would be leaving Campbell to take over as the head coach at Navy, questions swirled about who would fill the head coaching role for the Camels.

NC State has one dual remaining against Duke, and unless something very unexpected happens, they will finish the season as the clear #2-ranked dual meet team in the country with a 15-0 record. They have been ranked as high as #4 in the tournament rankings, but do they have what it takes to bring home their second NCAA trophy in three years?
