Former NC State players on the Pack’s past, present and future on the court
Both Wolfpack basketball teams -- men’s and women’s – are still standing as we approach the final weekend of the NCAA national basketball championships.
Due South talks to two former NC State basketball stars who were members of the Pack the last time their teams made it to the Final Four. Thurl Bailey is a broadcast analyst for the Utah Jazz, a former NBA player and was a star on the NC State men’s team that won the 1983 NCAA championship. Chasity Melvin is a coach, a former WNBA player, and in 1998 she led the NC State women’s basketball team to its first Final Four appearance.
Bailey and Melvin talk to co-hosts Leoneda Inge and Jeff Tiberii about the Pack’s past, present and future on the court.
