A new basketball season is approaching for NC State with the opener against USC Upstate set for Nov 4. And as the new campaign is set to begin in less than a month, senior guard Breon Pass has a new number to sport: No. 4. Why change from No. 10, which he had for his first three seasons, to the single digit? “I just wanted a different era,” Pass told TheWolfpacker.com recently. “I wanted a fresh start and I feel like No. 4 was the best fit for me, so I just went with it. No. 4 for four [years].” But Pass, a former four-star recruit out of Reidsville (N.C.) High School, is a rare story in today’s college basketball. He is the only scholarship player on the Wolfpack's current roster that will have played all four years at NC State.
