Ever wondered what it would look like if a group of your favorite Wolfpack players from different years had gotten to play together?

We’ll you’re going to get to see a version of that pretty soon.

According to ‘TBT’ The Basketball Tournament (I presume), which happens to be the highest stakes basketball tournament in the world ($1 million prize), a group of NC State players have applied to play.

The teamname?

Wolf Blood.

The roster?

Cat Barber, Trevor Lacey, Scott Wood, Richard Howell, Torin Dorn and CJ Williams.

This team has it all!

  • An elite point guard in Barber.
  • Two of the most deadly shooters in recent history Trevor Lacy and Scott Wood.
  • The most physical post player the Wolfpack has ever had in Richard Howell
  • And the two best do-it-all glue guys from the past 10 years in Torin Dorn and CJ Williams.

Games will be held in late July or early August and fans will likely be in attendance. The games will also be televised on ESPN.

We will have more on this as it becomes available.

Howell may be the best rebounder in the last 25 years. But you right, they need a big man. But then, didn’t we always? Doubt Tommy B can move very well any more. Thurl Bailey must be pushing 60 as well.
