Duke, NC State men's basketball headline final day of ACC Tipoff
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WTVD) -- The final day of the ACC Tipoff in Charlotte brought us the last two Triangle teams to make the Final Four, NC State and Duke.
Entering his fourth year, Jon Scheyer is looking to take Duke back to the promised land.
It's been ten years since the Blue Devils were last National Champions, but Scheyer continued to preach continuity and the one common goal.
"Very hungry to start the season," said Scheyer. "We know it's going to be a really difficult schedule that we have to play, but these guys are up for the challenge."
NC State was the final team to take the stage in Charlotte. The Wolfpack have a revamped roster under first year head coach Will Wade.
Wade, who is never shy in front of a camera-continued to boast about his squad, a team he has consistently predicted to get to the NCAA Tournament in his first season. "As a coach, you want to recruit guys that fit your personality," Wade explained. "I think that they have that edge to them that I like."
We are less than a month away from the regular season openers for both squads. Duke will meet Texas on November 4th in Charlotte, while NC State hosts NC Central on Nov. 3rd
