COURTVISION with Ven-Allen Lubin | Episode 10 | The First Four In DaytonFrom the team hotel in Dayton, Ohio, NC State’s Ven-Allen Lubin discusses becoming the only player to appear in the NCAA First Four twice and what he learned from last year’s win with Carolina that can help the Wolfpack against Texas. He reflects on the ACC quarterfinal loss to Virginia, emphasizing growth, role sacrifice, and the need to finish games after late-season struggles closing out against teams like Stanford, Notre Dame, and Miami. Lubin describes the rapid turnaround from Selection Sunday to a Tuesday night game, how leaders and experienced teammates prepare newcomers for the tournament’s intensity, and how the staff is balancing film study of Texas with focusing on NC State’s execution.
