2019–20 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team

The 2019–20 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team represented North Carolina State University during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolfpack were led by third-year head coach Kevin Keatts and played its home games at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). After winning its second round match-up with Pittsburgh in the 2020 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament and before its quarterfinal match-up with Duke, the tournament was canceled due to concerns with the global pandemic COVID-19.[1] Later that afternoon, the NCAA announced that all Winter and Spring championships would be canceled, including the NCAA Tournament.[2] They finished the season 20–12, 10–10 in ACC play to finish in a tie for sixth place.
