RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State is trying again to get freshman guard Braxton Beverly cleared to play this season. Beverly’s attorney, Scott Tompsett, issued a statement saying he hopes “the NCAA takes this opportunity to do the right thing” and let Beverly play immediately. Beverly enrolled at Ohio State and took two summer courses before an unexpectedly late coaching change led him to obtain his release and join the Wolfpack by the fall semester. N.C. State announced Oct. 13 that its initial request for Beverly’s eligibility was denied, and appealed that decision 10 days later. Demarest said last week that Matta and Ohio State supported Beverly’s efforts to play right away.
