On Thursday, the 12 seed North Carolina State Wolfpack will face the 5 seed Saint Louis Billikens after winning their 1st round game against Xavier on Tuesday. NC State lost against Duke in the ACC Conference Tournament. This led to the Wolfpack getting an at-large bid but not in the fashion they wanted. They'd have to face the Xavier Musketeers in a 1st round game to determine who would face the Saint Louis Billikens.

T.J. Warren led the Wolfpack with 25 points and five rebounds in the win. NC State made a statement with a 74-59 win over Xavier and Saint Louis knows they were ready to make a run. NC State comes into this game with a regular season record of 22-13 overall and a 9-9 ACC record. They're led by T.J. Warren who averages 25 points, 5 rebounds and two assists per game.

Saint Louis isn't entering the tournament on the note they would have liked. In their last game, they were stunned by St. Bonaventure in the A10 Conference Tournament. They'll be ready to get back on the court to get the bitter taste out of their mouths. The Billikens are led by Dwayne Evans, who averages 14 ppg and 6.4 rpg. They finished the regular season with a 26-6 overall record and a 13-3 conference record. This is the 8th tournament appearance from Saint Louis and they'll be hoping to add a win to their 5-9 overall tournament record.
