NC State Faces Coastal Carolina in Basketball Match

Coastal Carolina's men's basketball team, under new coach Justin Gray, faces NC State on November 13 after a split in their first two games this season. The Chanticleers are struggling offensively, averaging just 59.5 points per game with shooting percentages below average, which could be problematic against the Wolfpack's stronger lineup. NC State, currently 2-0, boasts a balanced scoring attack with six players averaging double figures, and seeks to build momentum towards a challenging schedule ahead. Coastal's leading scorer, Rasheed Jones, averages 17.5 points per game but will need support from the rest of the roster, which relies heavily on transfers due to limited returning players. The game is crucial for both teams, with NC State aiming to maintain its winning streak and Coastal Carolina needing to improve its performance to remain competitive in the season. Key injuries and the overall depth of Coastal's roster may further complicate their chances against the favored Wolfpack.
