Exhausting. The absence of a strong backcourt bites NC State again as the Wolfpack fails to handle the ball appropriately throughout the day and has nobody who can play defense against opposing guards – like Nick Calathus. If only John Wall is watching and can recognize the solid balance comprised in the Wolfpack’s roster before […]
Good Luck, Clemson
The Clemson Tigers take the field tonight in the Chick-Fil-A bowl in what I think will be the ACC’s ‘defining’ bowl game of 2007. The Tigers game tonight against Auburn will only count as one game – the conference is currently a respectable 2-1 in bowls thusfar – but the magnitude of this battle with […]
BBall: Last Bytes of the Year; +21 in 20 Minutes
Despite the holidays, we’ve posted a ton of stuff to the site in recent days…so, if you haven’t been visiting a lot then we ask that you don’t overlook some of our entries like the ACC expansion pieces and our comprehensive “BC fans” piece. ===> We obviously followed the Wolfpack’s win over Western Carolina closely. […]
1986: V Interview on CBS
Every fan of every school has a cache of moments that are particularly special to them for some reason or another. Because the years of 1980-1985 were so forgettable…1986 came along for me at a time where I was definitely ‘old enough to remember’ while also being somewhat ‘blank’ as it related to NC State […]
OTR: 18 Game Conference Schedule?
If you haven’t been under a rock this week then you know that the biggest issue discussed by the Atlantic Coast Conference – quickly becoming the “can’t leave well enough alone crowd” – at the annual meeting was the issue of how many games should comprise the annual basketball schedule. Up for debate – should […]
2007.03.20_ Big Dose of Bytes
The last week or so has been very good for NC State. We’ve blogged a ton of items and hope that you will take some time to scroll through the blog and make sure that you haven’t missed anything that of interest. Just this weekend we had almost a dozen entries that looked forward and […]
“Raleigh Time”
When I was at State in the late 1980s and early 1990s I had two fraternity brothers from West Jefferson, NC that became two of my closest friends in the world. (Even today these gentlemen and their families live just a couple of miles around the corner from my family). These two guys were notorious […]
ACC BBall Bytes
With the Wolfpack suddenly struggling on the hardwood, it’s hard for everyone to pay extremely close attention to everything else that is going on in the league. But, as we have turned the corner on the mid-point of the season there have been some very interesting developments that are worth noting. * So, the powerful […]
To March, or not to March?
To March, or not to March? It isn’t much of a question. Technician ran two opposing views on the Student Wolfpack Club’s recent behavior of “marching in” to their seats in the RBC Center today. For those of you not familiar with what I am talking about, here is a quick rundown: before the basketball […]
1983 – Right Year, Wrong Game
It is a real shame that Sidney Lowe’s first team is as limited as it is. Otherwise, you’d be hearing a lot more about “when Sidney was in school”. (Just wait until next year when every event during the season mark’s the 25th anniversary of the Wolfpack’s miracle run.) Today, Dan Wiederer of the Fayetteville […]
