We had irrationally high hopes that somehow, someway, someone would stop through Raleigh to play the Pack on Senior Day and close out the regular season.
It didn’t happen.
A mix of travel issues, concerns over health heading into postseason play, games previously scheduled and (how awesome is this) State’s hot play of late, made it nearly impossible for an outside opponent to step up. Big 12 was an option since they have a break before their tournament. There were thoughts of ACC foes being rearranged to provide a make-up game. The effort from State authorities and Keatts provided no answers.
