There’s nothing like college basketball in the Triangle, and NC State is ready to take local ball to new heights with fresh faces and returning faves. Here’s what you need to know before you step foot in Reynolds Coliseum + Lenovo Center this season.
Men’s basketball
After wrapping up the regular season with no postseason in sight, NC State fired former head coach Kevin Keatts and picked up McNeese State’s Will Wade to lead the Pack, ushering in a new era for men’s basketball in Raleigh.
How did the Pack do in its home opener?Check last night’s score against the NCCU Eagles and Enloe alum coach LeVelle Moton.
Women’s basketball
The Wolfpack women went out swinging with a Sweet Sixteen loss against LSU last year, and they’re coming back for more. Guard Zoe Brooks and forward Khamil Pierre are expected to lead the Pack this year, and both were named to the All-ACC Preseason Team.
