UNC Wilmington head coach Kevin Keatts will meet with NC State about its vacant head coaching position, according to Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.

Rothstein added that Keatts is a primary candidate to land the job.

Keatts is fresh off leading the Seahawks to the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season and a first-round defeat at the hands of Virginia.

The 44-year-old guided UNCW to 54 wins over the past two seasons. He spent four years as a Louisville assistant prior to joining the Seahawks.

NC State is looking for a replacement for Mark Gottfried, who was let go after the Wolfpack dropped 14 of their final 17 games.
