Aiming for its fourth NCAA Tournament bid in as many years, the NC State men’s basketball team has announced a 2014-15 schedule featuring 20 home games and 16 contests against teams who played in the 2014 college basketball postseason.

NC State, one of just 25 basketball programs to have played in the last three NCAA Tournaments, will face nine different opponents who played in the 2014 NCAA bracket. The Wolfpack will play 11 games against those nine teams, facing Virginia and North Carolina twice each.

The first four games at home comprise the Global Sports Invitational and conclude with a match-up against South Florida on ESPNU. Richmond and Boise State come to Lenovo Center around the Thanksgiving holiday to close the first month.

Nationally-televised games at Purdue and vs. West Virginia in Madison Square Garden mix with six home games in December. During the month, NC State will host three teams – Wofford, Tennessee and Cincinnati – that made the NCAA Tournament last season. West Virginia and Louisiana Tech each played in the NIT last year.
