Following DJ Horne NC State guard who scored 22 points who led the way offensively for NC State in 81-67 win over UT Martin in North Carolina’s state capital NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say had this to say about his team!

“Good game for us and I’ll tell you why,”“These are nerve-racking games that you play with finals and our guys being pulled 20 different ways. “So it’s good. I thought we ramped it up when we needed to. I thought DJ Horne was a big part of that spark, making some shots, got really hot and did some good things.”

“I think we’re getting better and it looks like we’re playing better together,”

I thought for the last three games our offensive transition has been really good. We’re sharing the ball, we’re kicking the ball ahead. I think defensively, we’re starting to click a little more and we don’t have as many breakdowns as we had early in the season.”

The game is going to be televised on ESPN2 with Kevin Fitzgerald, Carolyn Peck commentating!

Carolyn Peck originally joined ESPN in 2001 and returned in 2007 as a basketball analyst for both college and professional, including men’s and women’s college basketball, NBA and WNBA. Peck went back to coaching for the 2017-2018 season as an associate head coach at Vanderbilt, and then returned to ESPN shortly after, where she is currently an analyst for ESPN and SEC Network’s women’s college basketball coverage.

One of the most accomplished figures in women’s basketball, Peck returned to ESPN after five seasons as head coach at the University of Florida, where she orchestrated the greatest one-season turnaround in program history (2003-2004). Prior to taking the helm at Florida, Peck was the head coach of the former WNBA franchise Orlando Miracle for three seasons (1999-2001), a stint that included a trip to the 2000 WNBA playoffs.

Through her time at Florida and at Orlando, Peck contributed game and studio analysis for ESPN’s coverage of the WNBA, women’s college basketball regular season and the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship.

Right before joining the professional ranks as a coach, Peck won the 1999 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship as head coach of the Purdue Boilermakers, becoming the first African-American women coach to do so, while also earning many coach-of-the-year honors. In addition, Peck has served as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1997 and 2004), the University of Tennessee (1993-95) and the University of Kentucky (1995-96).

She played basketball at Vanderbilt University from 1985-88 and averaged 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds a game. Peck graduated from Vanderbilt University with a bachelor’s degree in communications.
