Austin Peay vs NC State Preview
The North Carolina State Wolfpack is coming off a disappointing season in 2021-2022 when they finished last in the ACC conference, with an 11-21 overall record and a 4-16 conference record. The Austin Peay Governors, meanwhile, didn’t fare much better in the Ohio Valley Conference last season, earning a 12-17 overall record and an 8-10 record in the conference.
To kick off the 2022-2023 season, they are facing off and NC State hopes to get off to a good start with transfer guard Jarkel Joiner, who told Field Level Media that he’s excited to be at NC State.
“I love to talk, I love to communicate. This team is amazing to be around. I’m very vocal. I like talking and being communicative and learning from my teammates from day one was the goal,” said Joiner.
Meanwhile, Austin Peay center Elijah Hutchins-Everett said in a preseason press conference that his team is ready to play and he’s ready to pursue Player of the Year in their new conference, the Atlantic Sun Conference.
“My goals are to win Player of the Year, to at least be first-team all-conference,” Hutchins-Everett said, adding, “Just to go out there, play hard, give it our all, believe in each other, believe that we can do anything when we are together and there’s nothing that can get in our way if we believe in each other.”
Austin Peay head coach Nate James added that he’s excited to be a part of the Atlantic Sun conference.
“We’re excited to be a part of the ASun. We’ve had a great summer, working in preparation for the league, so obviously we want to go out and have a great start to the season and play the type and brand of ball that we’ve been working so hard to come across with our guys,” said James, adding, “It’s exciting to be a part of it. It’s extremely competitive from top to bottom and we just wanna showcase well in our first season … it’s extremely competitive league, well coached, I think it’s a league that anyone can win and we’re excited to come together and play hard and represent Austin Peay University. I would say the strength of the league and the strength of coaching is a big-tiem positive.”
The Austin Peay vs NC State game is Monday, November 7 at 8 p.m. Eastern on the ACC Network.
