The video board is a whopping 4,000 square feet hanging in the air.

That’s 180% larger than the old one.

Athlon released their 2019-20 College Basketball preview, and they predict that NC State’s Men’s Basketball team will finish 5th in the ACC this season.

Duke
Louisville
UNC
UVA
NC State
FSU
Notre Dame
Miami
Syracuse
Georgia Tech
Clemson
Boston College
Wake Forest
Pittsburgh
Virginia Tech

Here’s a rundown of what they had to say about the Wolfpack.

Returning 6 of top 7 scorers from last year
Redshirt Junior D.J. Funderburk needs to rebound more consistently, and stay out of foul trouble.
The version of Senior Markell Johnson that finished the season will be needed for NC State to get back to the NCAA Tournament.
- Needs to be a consistent leader and scorer.
Junior Braxton Beverly needs to figure out a way to run more hot than cold.
Consistency from Redshirt Junior Devon Daniels would go a long way.
Team should be back in the NCAA Tournament.
With a reloading year for Duke, UVA and UNC, Keatts will get few opportunities like this one.
