When: Today (Sat, Nov 2) at 5pm
Where: PNC Arena
Watch: GoPack.com Streaming

The NC State men’s basketball team has its final tune-up of the preseason this Saturday when it hosts Morehouse College at 5 p.m. Admission to the game is free but fans are encouraged to make a donation to the V Foundation upon entering PNC Arena.

Morehouse, an NCAA Division II team located in Atlanta, was 20-8 last season but returns even less from last year’s team than NC State does. Only two players from the 2012-13 Morehouse roster return, and they combined for just six starts. Saturday’s contest is Morehouse’s only exhibition.

NC State is coming off a 96-85 exhibition win over UNC Pembroke on Wednesday at Reynolds Coliseum. T.J. Warrenrecorded a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Tyler Lewis dished 15 assists, five of which led to NC State dunks.

Ralston Turner added 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting in what was his first time wearing a Wolfpack uniform. In all, six players saw action in a home white State uniform for the first time. Desmond Lee, Kyle Washington and Lennard Freeman all saw major minutes. Anthony `Cat’ Barber was another player fans were excited to see, and he delivered with 14 points.

“So many new guys and young guys, it gives those guys like Cat and Desmond and Lennard and Kyle and BeeJay a chance to play in front of people, to put on your uniform and play,” head coach Mark Gottfried said after Wednesday’s win. “I think our group needed that.”

After the team’s second and final exhibition, NC State will open the 2013-14 regular season Friday, Nov. 8 against Appalachian State.

By

ECU Transfer Power Forward Ezra Ausar (6’9″/240) was on an Official Visit to NC State yesterday, and according to analysts at ON3 and 247Sports, things are trending in the right direction for the Wolfpack.

Jamie Shaw of ON3 submitted a prediction for Ausar to eventually commit to NC State yesterday morning.

Cory Smith of 247Sports submitted a crystal ball projection for Ausar to run with the Wolfpack this morning.

Ausar just wrapped up his Sophomore season in Greenville, averaging 11.4 points and 4.7 rebounds, shooting 51.4% from the field. As a Freshman, he was named to the AAC All-Freshman Team, averaging 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds.

Ausar is a consensus 4-Star prospect in the Transfer Portal, and ON3 ranks him as the #60 overall player in the Portal and the #10 Power Forward.

Originally from Atlanta, Ausar played his Senior Season of High School at Liberty Heights Athletic Institute in Charlotte, North Carolina. ON3 ranked Ausar as a 4-Star prospect coming out of high school, the #94 overall player nationally, and the #2 player in the state of North Carolina.

Ausar has visited Seton Hall, Georgia Tech, met over Zoom with Georgetown, and had an in-home visit with Utah. John Calipari and his staff at Arkansas have been in touch with Ausar, as well as Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Arizona State, West Virginia, Iowa State and St. John’s. (Link)

At this point, it’s good news that Ausar has no visits scheduled after the visit to NC State.

Ausar has 2 years of eligibility remaining, and NC State currently has 1 scholarship remaining.

USC Power Forward Brandon Gardner (6’8″/215) listed NC State in his Top-6 along with Jacksonville, San Francisco, Arizona St., Texas A&M and Arizona.

Gardner was a 4-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, with Rivals ranking him as the #74 overall player nationally, and ESPN ranking him as the #2 player in the state of New York (Christ the King, New York City). He is originally from Waynesboro, Georgia. Prior to playing for Christ the King, Gardner played for Word of God Academy, so Raleigh is familiar to him.

Kevin Keatts and his NC State Coaching Staff offered Gardner when he was in high school.

Prior to committing to USC, Gardner was committed to St. John’s.

This past season Gardner only played in 4 minutes in 1 game for the Trojans, making it a redshirt season.

Gardner will have 4 years of eligibility wherever he lands.
