RALEIGH -- After back-to-back losing seasons, N.C. State’s men’s basketball team is working toward better days under new coach Kevin Keatts.
Friday night’s Primetime with the Pack event at Reynolds Coliseum offered the team’s fans their first view of the team.
For Keatts, hired away from UNC-Wilmington last March following Mark Gottfried’s firing, hearing a packed gym cheer his team often brought a smile to his face.
“This was an unbelievable event,” Keatts said. “It was my first event so I definitely enjoyed it.”
Given the state of his chosen sport nationally, with an active FBI investigation of players and coaches involved in bribery and fraud underway, it was a welcomed respite.
