NC State opens debut season under former Wolfpack player Justin Gainey
N.C. State is counting on former Wolfpack player Justin Gainey to provide a measure of stability in leading the program. N.C. State made an unexpected run to an Atlantic Coast Conference championship and the Final Four in 2024 only to fire coach Kevin Keatts in 2025. Then came Will Wade's one-year tenure before he bolted for LSU. Gainey had previously worked as Rick Barnes' associate head coach at Tennessee.
Gainey's retooled roster includes two returning starters for a team picked to finish eighth in the ACC. The Wolfpack's opener comes Nov. 2 against Campbell.
