Tom Izzo hints at using the portal on Pardon My Take podcast

Will Tom Izzo go into the portal this offseason? 'I might'

What position does Tom Izzo need to prioritize in the transfer portal?

NC State leads 32-29 at the half

PITTSBURGH – NC State has done a much better job defending Oakland so far than Kentucky did on Thursday night. The Wolfpack have held the Golden Grizzlies to 39 percent shooting and just 5-of-15 from deep. They’re glued to the shooters and making Oakland work hard to get off all those 3s.NC State has led by as many as nine points, but one ice-cold shooting spell against the matchup zone left the door open. The Pack missed nine straight and 10 of 11 shots late in the half, and Michigan State transfer Rocket Watts nailed a jumper at the halftime buzzer to get the underdogs within 32-29 at intermission.Jack Gohlke, who hit 10 3s and torched Kentucky for 32 points in the first round, has only three made 3s and nine points (plus five boards) in 17 minutes off the bench. NC State has a pretty clear advantage inside, where 6-9, 275-pound DJ Burns Jr. and 6-foot-10 Mohamed Diarra have combined for 14 points and 12 rebounds.

MSU has gone 4-4 in the tournament and has made the second weekend just once. The Spartans (20-15) had double-digit losses for the fourth straight season, something that had never happened previously under Izzo in a tenure that started in 1995.He has had some impactful transfers, most recently Joey Hauser and Tyson Walker, but he needs to be more embracing of the portal moving forward. Next year’s team loses Walker (24 points in Saturday’s 85-69 loss to UNC) and Malik Hall (17 points, nine rebounds), and almost certainly point guard A.J. Hoggard (three points, four assists, three
