Yep, it all comes down to this afternoon. The play-in game to get into the NCAAT “First Four.” Multiple SFN authors shall be at a secure, undisclosed location with libations in hand. Hopefully, happy drinking doesn’t turn into angry drinking. No matter what, I’m proud of this staff and team for making it this far. […]
Afternoon/Evening Bubble Watch
Oregon State leads Washington inside of 40 seconds left. Alabama has choked up a big lead and is tied with lowly South Carolina. Feeling now like tomorrow’s tilt with the Hoos will be our play-in game.
State/BC Game Thread
With the league officials (no problem to the Atlantic Coast Cabal leadership, apparently – see the thread below) already making a statement that it will be 5-on-8 the whole way…the Pack will take the court shortly. Good thing NC State can and should handily dispatch the Eagles under such dire circumstances. That will be a […]
Thursday Pre-Caffeinated Thoughts
First, a Cliffs Notes style bubble guide. Here’s who you want to lose today: Texas, Colorado State, Northwestern (though I don’t have the heart for that one), Alabama, Mississippi State. If 3 of those happen, then I think two wins definitely get NC State in. You will also want to expend rooting juju when the […]
2011-12 ACC Honors (BJD’s “Ballot” on Behalf of SFN)
I do this every year, and bubble fever has me enthused enough to do it again. But yes, I am still steamed about how the ACC promotes only the blues (and mangled l’affaire de Hess), and very much would like to join the SEC as soon as humanly possible. That said, here are my votes: […]
Pack/Castrated Turkeys Game Thread
It’s the 5 seed (against BC Thursday night) or the 7 seed (Wake). Sadly, seeds 4 and 6 are now out of reach. But going over .500 in league play has always been the highest and best realistic goal for this team. It would be a major accomplishment, and earn MG my “vote” for ACC […]
Weekend Hoops Open Thread – Murray State delivers
4:10pm Update Murray State was unimpressive, but they eeked out a 2 point win over Tennessee State that insured that the Ohio Valley Conference will only receive NCAA Tournament bid. ———- Original Entry First order of business – congrats to former Pack assistant Eddie Biedenbach, as he takes UNC-A to a second straight NCAAT. We […]
Pack/Canes Senior Night Game Thread
My marginal prognostication gut says the Pack wins rather easily. I suspect that with a tourney bid almost in hand…Da U is due to crap the bed. We shall see. Congrats to CJ, AJ, and Kendall Smith. Hopefully they all start.
Pack Takes Best Shot, Holes Win By 12
Deliberate word choice – the Pack didn’t lose the game – UNC just won it. When an opponent takes your best shot, and beats you fair and square…you shake their hands and move on. Lots of positives – the all-around game of Calvin Leslie, the tenacity of Lorenzo Brown, the hustle and determination of DeShawn […]
A Call to Arms
If you didn’t believe it early last week, then surely you did late Thursday night. And if you didn’t believe it then…well, certainly your eyes were opened by Karl Hess on Saturday afternoon, or by the league office later that night. Now, there can be no going back. NC State is no longer a […]
