RELEASE: Wolfpack Sports Network Announces Chucky Brown as MBB Radio Analyst

RALEIGH, N.C. – Former NC State men’s basketball player Chucky Brown will serve as color analyst for all men’s basketball games on the Wolfpack Sports Network starting with the coming 2025-26 season.

Brown replaces Tony Haynes who had served as the men’s basketball analyst – and had a variety of other roles with the Wolfpack Sports Network since 1998 – and announced earlier this year that he would be retiring at the conclusion of the 2025 football season.

“I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity,” Brown said. “It was an honor to represent NC State as a player, and I’m humbled to now have the chance to return to a program and university that mean so much to me. I’m excited to work alongside Matt Chazanow and the rest of the fantastic Wolfpack Sports Network crew as the men’s basketball program begins an exciting new era under Will Wade.”

Brown was a four-year letterman at NC State who played in 128 career games from 1985-89. In his four years with the Wolfpack, NC State went to the NCAA Tournament all four seasons and won the 1987 ACC Tournament Championship as well as finishing first in the 1989 ACC regular season.

Brown scored 1,357 career points, a total that still ranks 25^th in school history, and shot 55.7 percent from the field in his NC State career, a mark that is fourth all-time in the program record book.

He averaged 16.4 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a senior when he was an All-ACC First Team selection.

Brown still holds the school record for minutes played in a game when he played 59 out of a possible 60 minutes in the Pack’s four overtime victory over Wake Forest on March 4, 1989. Brown scored a career-high 34 points in the win as the victory clinched the ACC regular season title for the Pack.

Brown was the 43^rd overall selection in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers and played 13 years in the NBA. He won an NBA title in 1995 as a member of the Houston Rockets.
