What channel is Oakland vs NC State basketball on today? Time, TV schedule for March Madness game
Greg Kampe, Jack Gohlke and the 14 seed Oakland basketball team (24-11, 15-5 Horizon) made history on Thursday with the program's first-ever first-round victory in the NCAA Tournament, vs. 3 seed Kentucky.
Now, the Golden Grizzlies will seek to do it again. Their next opponent: an NC State team (23-14, 9-11 ACC) that stole a March Madness bid with five consecutive ACC Tournament victories. Kevin Keatts' Wolfpack extended that win streak to six games on Thursday with an 80-67 victory over 6 seed Texas Tech.

Oakland, of course, has already secured perhaps the program-defining win, at the expense of John Calipari and the Wildcats. Though it was an upset, Gohlke (whose 10 3-pointers spurred the Golden Grizzlies to victory) claimed his team's not a Cinderella. They'll put that statement to the test against an NC State team who very well could be categorized as one.
The Wolfpack are comming off a victory vs. the Red Raiders in which four players scored in double digits, led by 21 points from Ben Middlebrooks off the bench. Mohamed Diarra, who is observing Ramadan, also scored 17 points and nabbed 12 rebounds for NC State.
