Rested NC State looks to shake off rust vs. Rider

North Carolina State has had time to assess some of its recent shortcomings, and with the bulk of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule approaching, Sunday would be a good day for coach Kevin Keatts to get a look at his refreshed team. The Wolfpack will play their last non-conference game when hosting Rider at Raleigh, N.C. NC State (7-4), a loser of four of its past six games, has been off since a Dec. 14 loss at then-No. 10 Kansas. "When we don't have two or three of our good guys play well, it's a long night for us," Wolfpack coach Kevin Keatts said.
