RALEIGH, N.C. The NC State men’s basketball season gets off to a sneak-preview start Thursday night when the Wolfpack hosts Fort Valley State at 7 p.m. in the first of two exhibition games at historic Reynolds Coliseum.
The game, which will be broadcast on the Wolfpack Radio Network and carried live on GoPack.com for PackPass subscribers, will kick off Sidney Lowe’s third season as the head coach of his alma mater.
Lowe and his team enter the season with a full roster of healthy players. Junior forward Brandon Costner, who missed the Red & White Game in late October with a sprained ankle, returned to practice shortly after and will be in the lineup on Thursday.
Tickets for Thursday’s game are $15 each and are available at the GoPack.com Ticket Center, by calling the Ticket Office at (919) 865-1510 or at the door. Tickets sales at Reynolds are cash only. Students can get their tickets by submitting an on-line student ticket request.
