NC State men’s basketball heads to Phoenix for Final Four to face Purdue and Zach Edey

RALEIGH, N.C. (WWAY) — It is sendoff day for the NC State men’s basketball as they make their way to Phoenix for the Final Four.

Fans showed up at the Dail Basketball Center at 12:15 on Wednesday afternoon to see the team off.

“It’s just fun to bring this back. The guys have had this. Why not us? Don’t quit,” Allison Harris said from the send-off party.

Colton Robbins and his mom drove four hours into Raleigh this morning from Rutherford County to see the men’s team off.

“I get to get all my NC State stuff made to put to the players and just have fun in Raleigh,” Robbins said.

The send-off party was all the more popular because of how hard it was to get tickets to the game in Phoenix. The cheapest resale tickets as of Wednesday afternoon were priced at more than $500 — that doesn’t even include the cost of travel and lodging.
