RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — No. 24 N.C. State’s opener against Western Carolina has been delayed Thursday night because of lightning in the area.
The game was scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m., but has been pushed back to around 7:30 p.m. Students who had begun to fill the stands to watch warmups had to leave the bleacher areas at Carter-Finley Stadium.
The announcement came roughly 45 minutes before the original kickoff time.
