NC State’s 2020-21 basketball schedule is here, finally, just barely two weeks from the start of the season. The Wolfpack has six non-conference games set and will be one of the teams with a heavier early-season league slate, with three ACC games scheduled before January.
NC State is not going to play UConn, as had been previously discussed. Rather than travel for that game, State will remain at home for all of its non-conference schedule save the ACC/Big Ten Challenge game at Michigan.
The Wolfpack opens conference play at Louisville on Dec. 16 and also will host UNC three days before Christmas, which might be the earliest in the season those teams have ever met.
