Published

Wolfpack fans will get their first glance of Kevin Keatts and his 2017 basketball squad tonight when they take on Mars Hill in an exhibition matchup.

Gametime: 7pm
How to Watch: Streaming online @ ACC Network Extra (WatchESPN app)
Location: PNC Arena
Tickets: Online for $5 (actually $11 once they hit you with the fees — What’s the deal, NC STATE!?

NC State should win this game handily, however, there definitely are things to be watching.

For one, we will get to see what Keatts is going to do with the offense. We already know quite a bit from his press conference a few days ago, but it will be interesting to see what the 4 guard lineup will look like in action.

When practice first got started, Keatts was talking about ways to get Abu, Lennard Freeman and Yurtseven on the court together, however, I think it became obvious that doing that would go against everything that has made his UNCW teams successful.

Tonight we’ll likely see a starting lineup of Markell Johnson, Levar Batts (or Sam Hunt if healthy), Al Freeman, Torin Dorn and Lennard Freeman.
