Currently, NC State is 8-1 on the season; on the horizon, big matchups with Penn State and Auburn remain before conference play starts.

When Keatts arrived in Raleigh, the offense was destined to increase its pace. That go-go approach to offense has worked, too; this 2018-19 NC State team ranks inside the top 20 in both average time of possession on offense and adjusted offensive efficiency, per KenPom.
