This story on ESPN Insider from Dave Tuley has the Pack as the #3 best bet for next year to win it all. The odds are NCSU are 60-1.
Here's what he said:
"Let's stay in the state of North Carolina, and I'm not talking about Duke (though at 25-1, I wouldn't blame anyone for taking a flier on the Blue Devils). The Wolfpack upset No. 1 seed Villanova in the round of 32 and bring back most of their key contributors except for Ralston Turner. This is the bet I'm most likely to make right now. In this one-and-done era, it's reasonable to wonder if players sticking around is a good thing because it means they might not be NBA-caliber, but give me Trevor Lacey, Anthony Barber, Abdul-Malik Abu and Beejay Anya at 60-1 and a whole season to continue to get better, and I'll take my chances."
