RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Andrew Brackman walked into North Carolina State's practice gym and saw two ex-teammates shooting hoops. For a moment, he missed being a basketball player.
"I've been growing up my whole life playing that game, and all of a sudden, I had to hang it up for a little bit," Brackman said.
He knows he could've given new coach Sidney Lowe's team a presence in the low post and taken part in huge upsets of rivals North Carolina and Duke. Instead, the 6-foot-10 junior walked away from the hardwood to pursue a baseball career, and is wrapping up his first full season on the N.C. State diamond with an eye on next month's draft.
