N.C. State's basketball team will not be spending Christmas in Hawaii.
Wolfpack AD Lee Fowler said an ESPN report that has State in Honolulu over Christmas is wrong. State talked to the organizers of the new Diamond Head Classic but couldn't work out a deal, Fowler said.
The made-for-ESPN tournament is Dec. 22, 23 and 25 in Honolulu and features eight teams. USC, UNLV, College of Charleston and host Hawaii have committed to the field.
State has made five trips to 50th state for basketball tournaments, the last in 1995.

I guess NC State is losing it's class in the term of agreement. I would have to say someone is rather cheap. Let the fellows enjoy life and love in relaxing Hawaii. That's why I didn't follow through on plans to go to State either. Cheap
Sadly, jerom....
