Wolfpack Baseball (24-9, 8-5 ACC) enters the back half of ACC play this weekend as they travel to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech (23-9, 7-7 ACC). The Pack has won their past 6 straight and 8 of their last 9, including a road series win at defending Nat’l Champs UVa and a home sweep of […]

Baseball Update – Wake Comes to Town
It’s been a pretty good week for Wolfpack Baseball (20-9, 5-5 ACC). After a disappointing washout weekend in Tallahassee two weeks ago, this past weekend they went on the road and won a series vs defending Nat’l Champs UVa, the Pack’s first series win in Charlottesville since ’07. Then last night they methodically went to […]
Strength of Schedule Analysis
Usually at the end of basketball season, I like to document the variations in strength of schedule among the ACC teams in two parts: Out of Conference and the variation in conference schedules caused by having a ginarmous league. With the dropping interest in discussing anything related to the 2015/2016 basketball season, I thought that […]
Last Look at the Bubble
It’s time for our last look at RPI Rankings as we assess where the ACC teams fit with respect to the Bubble. Usually, we discuss what various teams need to do in order to clear the bubble and make the NCAAT. This year is dramatically different in that seven teams are rated by nearly everyone […]
One More Week
Since the ACC’s only Thursday night game is going as expected, it seems safe enough to use Thursday morning’s RPI data for our weekly update: It’s interesting to note that UNC has the fewest Top-50 wins among those teams rated as IN. On Monday morning, I noticed that GT had moved past Clemson on the […]
Pack Basketball Welcomes Tiggers to Town
Pack is desperately(?) looking to start a positive trend as they push toward the end of the ’15-’16. Clemson is surprisingly(?) within striking distance of an ACCT #1 seed. Who wants it more? We’ll find out. Talk about it…. –
Basketball Weekly Roundup
I enjoy doing these weekly updates on ACC basketball. (I guess that’s a good thing because the pay certainly sucks.) But I would hate to do a bracket for the entire NCAAT on a weekly or more frequent basis. The danger in trying to do too much too frequently was nicely illustrated before the Duke/UNC […]
NC State Baseball 2016
So it’s that time of year again. Yep, I know it’s probably snuck up on most of you seeing how it’s still all wintry and stuff, but in only a couple of days the Pack9 kicks off the 2016 season. And 2016 has the potential to be a pretty darned good year for baseball in […]
Wolfpack Basketball at UVa
7pm, ESPN. Can Friends O’ the Cat pick up enough slack to escape Charlottesville with an icy upset? Talk about it…. –
Media starting to recognize Cat Barber’s exploits
h/t newsobserver.com and Ethan Hyman After NC State’s 99-88 victory over Big 4 Rival Wake Forest on Saturday, Wolfpack fans all over were talking about the continued incredible play of Cat Barber. Barber had 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists against the Deacons in leading the team to its third conference victory of the […]
