Basketball TV schedule released, most Pack fans to be ‘blacked-out’ 8 times

Published

NC State released their TV schedule for the upcoming men’s basketball team, and well, most Wolfpack fans aren’t going to be too happy.

We’ve gone into detail about how a good deal of NC State basketball games are featured on what is listed at RSN. This stands for ‘Regional Sports Network’ and in most of North Carolina it means Bally Sports South (formally Fox Sports South).

The problem is, not many people have Bally Sports South. Unless you have Direct TV or you are paying $20 per month for the Bally + you’re mostly out of luck. And while most of these games are also streaming on the ESPN app, when Bally has the rights to them and you’re in their region, you get blacked out of the ESPN stream. (Here is the NC State fan’s guide to not being blacked-out.)

That said, here is the schedule breakdown…

RSN (Bally Sports South in the Triangle): 8 games
ACC Network or ACC Network Extra: 17 games
ESPN: 2 (possibly 4)
ESPN 2: 1

The ESPN games will be Kansas (in Atlantic) and the UNC game (in Raleigh). The other 2 possible ESPN games are the 2nd and 3rd round of Atlantic, however no TV info is out on those games yet.

The ESPN 2 game is the final game of the regular season at Duke.

All regular season games have some way to watch, however, neither Primetime with the Pack, nor the exhibition vs. Lees-Mcrae will be televised, so make plans to be there.

It doesn’t fix the shitty sports marketing agreements our university/conference have used to sell out (black out) its fans, but I use a VPN to avoid being blacked out of ESPN3.
Private Internet Access VPN has an app that can be installed on an amazon fire stick that enables me to watch ESPN3 on my tv when it is blacked out in my area.
Not plugging a particular VPN, just trying to be helpful by providing this info.

What good is the ACC Network if you can’t watch ACC games when you live in ACC region?

ACCN is more worthless than tits on a boar hog. The Village idiots that put this deal together had no interest in what was good for fans.

BSN South is in the basic tier of Spectrum and also on Suddenlink/Optimum and I would assume most other cable/satellite providers. It would not be available for cord cutters, but to my knowledge, neither is ESPN.

Well, it’s OFFICIAL. D.J Burns will be returning to NC State for his final year of collegiate eligibility!

A post shared by DJ Burns / BIG 30♨️ (@dj.b30)

This confirms everything I’d been hearing about the return of Burns. Burns was the key to the Wolfpack offense running effectively this past year. He averaged 12.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in 2022-23, but he elevated his game in ACC play, averaging 16.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in conference games.

Burns is celebrating his return to run with the Wolfpack by dropping his own Big 30 merch. Go over and snag something.

Isaiah Miranda is an Early Entry Candidate for the 2023 NBA Draft

The NBA released the names of the 242 players that have filed as early entry candidates for NBA Draft 2023 last night, and NC State’s Isaiah Miranda’s name was on the list.

Miranda (7’1″/225) joined the Wolfpack back in December, deciding to forgo the remainder of his prep season. Miranda didn’t see the court for NC State, resulting in a redshirt season.

ON3 ranked Miranda as the #16 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class.

It makes perfect sense for a player like Miranda, with his height and athleticism, to go through the draft process to be evaluated on what he needs to continue to work on. As an early entrant, Miranda has the ability to pull his name out of the draft and remain a collegiate athlete.

I don’t expect Miranda to keep his name in the hat when the time comes. From what I hear his game has tons of potential, but he still needs to fine tune his craft. Also, Miranda shared this on social media, implying he will be back in the Red and White next year.

NC State picked up their 5th transfer today. Mohamed Diarra (6’10″/215) committed to run with the Wolfpack today while in Raleigh on an Official Visit.

Diarra originally spent his first two seasons at Garden City Community College, averaging 17.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game in his second season. He landed at Missouri last year, after being rated as the #1 JUCO prospect in the 2022 class according to JucoRecruiting.com.

In his only season at Missouri, Diarra averaged 11.7 minutes per game in 25 games played (6 starts), averaging 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds. Because of the extra year due to Covid, Diarra has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

With news breaking today that Dusan Mahorcic entered the Transfer Portal, the Wolfpack found his replacement. NC State’s frontcourt in 2023-24 currently will be made up of D.J. Burns, Ben Middlebrooks, Mohamed Diarra and Ernest Ross.

Check out these highlights of Diarra.

There is a lot to like in Diarra’s game. He is athletic, can hit a jump shot, put the ball on the floor, can play defense on the perimeter, block shots, and is an aggressive rebounder.
