The 2024 ACC Championship will be hosted by North Carolina this year on Sunday, March 10. NC State leads the ACC with five top seeds, and the Pack also added three with the second seed. Meaning, the Wolfpack will have just two compete in the opening round, while the eight others have a bye into the semifinals as NC State goes for a sixth straight ACC title.

Host Brian Reinhardt and Pack head coach Pat Popolizio go weight-by-weight for a complete preview on episode No. 121 of the #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast.
