Paul McNeil Jr was at a crossroads.
When Kevin Keatts was fired, and NC State brought in Will Wade, the Rockingham, NC native had a decision to make.
Would he stay in Raleigh help Wade build, or would he enter the portal and abandon ship?
The first question would be whether or not Wade wanted McNeil.
WILD story: When Will Wade took over NC State, his analytics guys told him to think about retaining a guard named Paul McNeil who played just 8 mins a game last year.
He did.
Tonight McNeil went for 47 points and set an ACC record with 11 3-pointers made.
