A new event at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut will host NC State, Oklahoma State, Central Connecticut State, and UMass Lowell in mid-November. These four schools will each play a pair of games as part of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Showcase.
For NC State specifically, this means a game against CCSU on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and a game against Oklahoma State the next day. We don’t have tip times or television information yet, but I figure the Wolfpack-Cowboys game will be on TV somewhere.
The CCSU game amounts to a gimme (the Blue Devils finished last season 345th in the Pomeroy Ratings), while Oklahoma State should be a good challenge even with the Cowboys missing soon-to-be-top-NBA-pick Cade Cunningham.
