ACC Tournament, Keatts Receives Extension

Following an unprecedented run, NC State captures its first ACC tournament title since 1987, securing a contract extension and raise for coach Kevin Keatts.

NC State's basketball team clinched the ACC tournament championship with a victory over North Carolina, marking their first title since 1987.
Coach Kevin Keatts' position was uncertain before the tournament, but the win led to a two-year contract extension and a $500,000 bonus.
The Wolfpack's journey included defeating five teams in as many days, a feat only matched by 2011 Connecticut in major conference men's basketball.
Players DJ Burns Jr. and DJ Horne played pivotal roles, contributing significantly to the team's success.
The win not only secures Keatts' future with NC State but also alters the narrative around the team's recent performance.
