NC State Men’s Basketball team was set to play in the Empire Classic this season which included Villanova, Michigan and Baylor. Recently, this event was turned into an event to be played in a “BUBBLE” at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Unfortunately, according to Jon Rothstein of CBSSports, the Wolfpack is being replaced by Boston College.
