2012–13 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team

National pundits talked a lot about the Wolfpack in their early preseason discussions of the top teams in the country. NC State returned its top four leading scorers from the 2011-12 season in C. J. Leslie (14.7 ppg), Lorenzo Brown (12.7 ppg), Scott Wood (12.4 ppg) and Richard Howell (10.8 ppg). In addition, NC State landed Rodney Purvis, Tyler Lewis, and T. J. Warren to wrap up a Top 10 recruiting class. ESPN’s Andy Katz had the Wolfpack as the top rated ACC squad, at No. 6, in his early predictions.{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/7767401/indiana-hoosiers-continue-moving-2012-13 |title=Rebuilt Hoosiers will join the elite |first=Andy |last=Katz |author-link=Andy Katz |work=ESPN.com |date=April 3, 2012 |accessdate=May 13, 2022}} His counterpart, Sports Illustrated’s Luke Winn, had the Wolfpack listed as the No. 5 team in the nation according to his power rankings.{{Citation needed|date=August 2013}} NC State was ranked 20th in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll following its Sweet Sixteen run in the NCAA Tournament.{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings/_/year/2012 |title=2011–12 Men's College Basketball Rankings for Final Rankings |work=ESPN.com |accessdate=May 13, 2022}}
