NC State and Tennessee will officially square off in a neutral-site game on Dec. 6 inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The non-conference matchup will pit Justin Gainey against his former boss, Rick Barnes, in an ACC vs. SEC showdown.

🧵 Let's take stock of what Gainey has built.
Hammond. Edmead. Evans. Yalaho. Keene. McNeil. Adams.
Seven scholarship players. Seven different roles. One identity.
This is what Year 1 of the Gainey era looks like. 1/

BREAKING🚨 Hofstra transfer Preston Edmead has committed to NC State! ACC conference I’m warning you right now it’s going to get spooky. Great fit and big time get for coach Gainey
𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓷 𝓔𝓭𝓶𝓮𝓪𝓭 of @HofstraMBB is this week’s 𝗚𝗼𝗛𝗼𝗳𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮.𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, presented by @ArmyROTC❗️
Hofstra freshman Preston Edmead had a stellar game for the Pride in the first round of the NCAA Tournament with 24 points to lead the way. Edmead played all 40 minutes in the contest and also contributed four rebounds and four assists. He also set a program-record with six three-pointers in an NCAA Tournament game. The previous record was four by Rick Apodaca in 2001 and Norman Richardson in 2000. Edmead's 24 points were the most by a Hofstra player in an NCAA Tournament game since Rich Laurel's 35 against Notre Dame in 1977. He is one of five freshmen in CAA history to score 20+ points in an NCAA Tournament game and the first since Andre Nation (JMU) in 2013 (24 vs. Indiana).

"We wanted to go further. But at the end of the day we still did special things here," said #Hofstra coach Speedy Claxton. The Pride bows out of March Madness with a loss to Alabama and a bunch of great memories. (📸 @HofstraPride) @News12LI@ChrisVaccaro

Pretty cool moment seeing Preston Edmead holding up my article recap of his iconic game-winner against Towson.
We’re all college students experiencing these moments for the first time, so it means a lot to see him pick up a copy and support my writing and @rdcjournalism’s incredible photo. It’s a truly special edition of the @HUChronSports.
Gotta love college. This is what it’s all about.
From Hofstra to the national stage. See you on CBS.
Your Pride will appear on Inside College Basketball today at 12:28 p.m. with Adam Zucker, Clark Kellogg, Seth Davis, and Bruce Pearl.
