Last night, NC State kicked off basketball season with ‘Primetime with the Pack.’ This is State’s version of Midnight Madness. A sort of pep rally to introduce the team and a first glimpse at the players in action.
This year’s event was highly anticipated, which prompted a sell-out of the newly renovated Reynolds Coliseum. The reason for the hype was the introduction of a slew of new players. This was the fans first glimpse of freshmen Dennis Smith Jr, Omer Yurtseven, Ted Kapita, Markell Johnson and Darius Hicks. They also were seeing transfer Torin Dorn for the first time live, and finally getting to see a healthy Terry Henderson.
