CJ Leslie sick, but expected to play (updated 4pm)

We might have some real bad news evolving out of Charlottesville for the Wolfpack’s big game tonight with the Virginia Cavaliers.

As evidenced here, the betting line for tonight’s game jumped from NC State +1.5 up to +4.5 (and more). Such a move is always worrisome.

With that said, rumors have started circulating that CJ Leslie is sick and will be replaced in the starting line-up by TJ Warren.

The following two pictures sent from @PackMensBasketball show State on the court at Paul Tudor Jones Arena. I can’t see a #5 out there, can you?

    I’ve had the norovirus twice, a maybe flu and a definite strep throat in the last month. It’s ridiculous around Raleigh right now with all the sickness.

    Just win, baby. Does anything else really matter on the road in the ACC?

    I can’t think of a happy thing to say. I want to kick someone in the tail but I don’t know who deserves it the most. Something is lacking to be sure.
