NC State’s promising start to the basketball season was ground to a halt before they could take their first real tests.

Their came against UCONN was cancelled after a traveling member of the program came up COVID positive. This bled over to their next game vs. FAU. They were set to play Louisville today, but that too was cancelled, but this time because of COVID positives in the Cardinal program.
