Photo Gallery With the season's first contests coming soon, the NC State men's basketball team joined the rest of the ACC teams at the ACC Operation Basketball at the Westin in downtown Charlotte.
The day started early for head coach Mark Gottfried, who boarded a limo headed to the ESPNU studios with other ACC head coaches at 6:15 a.m. Gottfried started with radio interviews and did numerous TV and marketing pieces that fans will see throughout the season.

At the studios, the players suited up in their road reds and went through a series of TV and photo shoots. Most of the talk is of the usual preseason basketball variety, but there were plenty of light moments for the guys to enjoy.

The long day not only serves a promotional purpose for media outlets across the country and region, but it also gives players and head coaches in the ACC a chance to gather without the stresses of competing against each other.
A lot of great coaches and competitors in this photos. #accmediaday @theACC @accmbb pic.twitter.com/zNIRPoMX0e
