With a strong home court advantage, the Pack has accumulated a 117-15 (.886) record at home since the renovation of Reynolds Coliseum was completed in August 2016.

NC State’s first true road game of the season is at TCU on Sunday, Nov. 17. The Pack will then play Coastal Carolina at home on Thursday, Nov. 21 before its trip to the Bahamas for two games (Nov. 25-27).
The Pack will close out the non-conference slate with four straight games at Reynolds Coliseum, starting with the SEC/ACC Challenge game vs. Ole Miss (Thursday, Dec. 5).

Coach Gott,
Everyone knows you can produce great guards. Work on getting our big me above average.
#GETEMRIGHTCOACH!
Actually Im not that upset with the game. 1 we came out with energy and intensity. that was a great thing we were moving the ball, players were moving around the court etc. We were looking like a good team. But that was part of the problem. We came out with energy and intensity but WE HAVE NEVER played like that before so thats whats caused the turnovers. Turnovers really hurts teams.
If we can play with that energy and cut back on the turnovers we will be good to go. But that comes with coaching and consistent play. Abu showed that jumper Ive been looking for now he needs to work on hands and feet in the post. Kapita will learn how to cut back on the fouls (coaching). Starting lineup should be. Smith, Henderson, Dorn, Kapita, Y7 or Abu. #GETEMRIGHTCOACHGOTT!! #GOPACK
This team was over hyped as most state teams are when we get a few decent recruits. I feel this team will be very lucky if they make the NCAA tournament. They are not very good at any facet of the game.
Dennis and Terry really played like crap this game. Kapita played well but again picked up some early fouls. Markell played really well but got called for some dubious fouls. Abu hit some jumpers but the turnovers and some head scratchers on defense cancelled out his good shooting. Oh well, I guess Gott can still blame not having Yurt7 for this performance.
This is a horrible team. Getting Yurt7 will not help. Gott does not know how to integrate a big into the offense. Yurt7 doesn’t play defense either. Four guards and a big is stupid. We put no pressure on the other team with offensive rebounding. This is very disheartening. I should have attended UNC back in the day. I’m really tired of these losers. I wasted money on Saturday, no more.
I agree with you but that won’t stop Gott from using his excuses.
This is actually a great team.. Got just got to get them right!
#GETEMRIGHTGOTT!!!
Speaking of losers, you never have anything good to say on this site. Im guessing you are the type of guy that if you won a million dollars, you would complain because they gave it to you in $20 bills. Go pull for UNC, WPN has no use for you.
This is a really horrible team. Taking long 2’s, taking too many chances on D, stupid foul after stupid foul. It’s more disappointing than last season’s team because this team is much more talented and deeper.
Markell gave us a scare with that injury. Looks like he’s back in action.
Why does Abu have the worst hands in the league? All those muscles and can’t hold on to a rebound, catch a pass, or take 2 dribbles without turning it over?
When Yurt7 joins it’s going to be interesting to see if Anya gets any minutes at all? It feels like he’s actually regressing each season.
Minus the freshman mistakes you have to love Markell’s game. He is the best defending freshman I’ve seen in a long time.
Hate when Dennis settles for the 3. He needs to keep pressure on their defense.
Terry has to pick up his game. He’s the old man on the team and he’s playing like a rookie.
Kapita looking much better than Anya but he’s got to play smarter. He’s picking up too many fouls. Already with 3 fouls at the half.
13 turnovers at the half! Knew this team would struggle on the road but wow.
Would not bet against ESPN since John Groce HC, one of the worst in BIG
I don’t expect a lot from Abu or Anya. I want to see more of Kapita, Hicks, and Shaun.
Abu has literally put up Richard Howell numbers (check his last two years vs abu’s almost identical) his first two years here…. and one bad game and everyone write him off? i’m tired of these lazy “fans” who refuse to support our players.
Richard Howell was 6’6″ and playing out of position. Abu is 6’8″ with a 40+ inch vertical. It is you who is being lazy. If Howell had Abu’s height and leaping ability he would have averaged 25ppg and 20rpb. Please do not ever compare Abu to Howell. You are doing Howell a severe disservice.
Please you don’t know anything about basketball clearly. just spouting numbers based on what you think. smh. you’re pathetic.
I know you love Abu and good for you but it doesn’t change the fact that he is not a very good player. Here’s the difference, no one could ask any more from Howell because he produced above the level expected. Abu has desires to play pro and even considered leaving last season yet he doesn’t have a consistent mid range game nor a developed post game. He’s a physical specimen that plays small.
I’m just waiting for you to claim that Gottfried coaches good defense.
Further, one guy maximized his production given his limited size and the other is gifted with size and extreme athleticism but is coming no where close to maximizing his production. A closer comparison would be Abu and CJ Leslie. Leslie was much more skilled in the post than Abu and maximized his athleticism.
Watch Abu carefully in this game tonight. You will see a guy who avoids contact, has weak hands, and is not positioned well. With his physical gifts he should be scoring 25ppg, pulling down 13rpg, and blocking 2-3 spg. I wish he were better but his deficiencies are too great.
Literally one player averaged 20 and 10 last year. one in all of D1 college basketball. end this fable.. that state line doesn’t exist.
You chose Richard Howell as the comparison. He averaged a double double his last season. Again at 6’6″ and lacking Abu’s athleticism. All while having no plays run for him. He had to share the front court with CJL whom dominated the ball. Who does Abu have to compete with in the front court? If he was able he would get the ball as much as he wanted.
This game could easily end up a loss if the Pack doesn’t come out focused and determined. It’s a road game so you just never know how these kids will play. The one thing I can count on is Dennis doing his thing, Markell playing that tough D, Torin scoring on a 1 on 3 fast break, and Terry adding his double digit scoring.
