N.C. State will participate in the Charleston Classic in November potentially adding more Big East flavor to its nonconference basketball schedule.
The Wolfpack is one of six teams confirmed for the eight-team, made-for-ESPN tournament. Big East power Georgetown is one of the other committed teams. The Wolfpack has also tentatively agreed to play a road game at Syracuse in 2010-11.
The nonconference schedule already includes a home date with Arizona and a road trip to Wisconsin, which is part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The Charleston Classic is set for Nov. 18 through 21 at Carolina First Arena in Charleston, S.C. In addition to State and Georgetown — who last met in a memorable 1989 NCAA tournament game — the field includes Charlotte, East Carolina, Wofford and George Mason.
The final two spots have yet to be filled. The opponents have not been set but the Wolfpack will play three games in Charleston. N.C. State is expected to sign a home-and-home deal with Syracuse which would bring the Orange to Raleigh the following season. The Wolfpack played, and lost, at Arizona this past season.

GO PACK!
Wonder how long it will take for some jaded UNC fan to make a negative comment?
Ha! Yea "Go Pack," and then they will call us classless farmers.
What do State fans always have to go back and bring UNC up. UNC was not even mentioned in this article, yet State fans found a way to comment about them. Must be jealous?!?!?!?
2 hours and some change. Not bad.
As a Duke fan, UNC hater, and loyal ABCer with no dog in this particular fight, I was just curious how stating a simple accurate observation based off of a recently observed statement is negative?
What is really sad is how they came back to check and see if anyone said anything so they could comment. Pathetic!
Who cares about the gAyCC!! Go Niners!!!!!!
Apparently you do!!!!!
