New Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried embraces N.C. State-UNC rivalry's intensity

Posted Jan 26, 2012
Tonight Gottfried gets his first chance to truly experience life in his new neighborhood when he takes his Wolfpack (15-5, 4-1) to Chapel Hill to face No. 7 North Carolina (16-3, 3-1). With N.C. State coming off three straight victories and North Carolina still smarting from a blowout loss at Florida State and a season-ending knee injury to shooting guard Dexter Strickland, the game has the full attention of both teams.
