NC State defeated #2 Arizona 90-84 last night in the Battle 4 Atlantis, and the Wolfpack helped first year head coach Kevin Keatts accomplish something that has never been done in school history.
According to Tim Peeler, last night’s victory marked the highest ranked opponent that a 1st year Men’s Basketball coach has ever beaten.
That's the highest ranked team a first-year @PackMensBball coach has ever beaten, dating back to Everett Case, who beat eventual national champion Holy Cross in his inaugural season of 1946-47, the year before the AP men's basketball poll began.
