RALEIGH, N.C. — An injury to Caitlin Weimar places NC State in a concerning conundrum ahead of the 2024-25 season. Without its would-be starting center, the red and white must lean heavily on its bevy of guard talent while finding ways to minimize the hole left by Weimar until she can return.
Luckily for Wolfpack Nation, this team is in a unique position to play great basketball with a four- or even five-guard lineup. Returning Aziaha James, Saniya Rivers, Madison Hayes and Zoe Brooks sets the Pack up with a few ways to play its trademark rebound-heavy ball without Weimar. It also opens up opportunities for veterans and newcomers alike to step up in new and interesting ways on and off the court. Let’s take a look at how the Wolfpack can attack opponents with a smaller, guard-heavy lineup.
