NC State has decided to postpone their International trip scheduled for this summer.

NC State's roster has turned over quite a bit since last year's disappointing 16-17 team.  The trip would have allowed Mark Gottfried's team to practice 10 days prior to the trip as well as play 3 games while touring Italy.
