In spite of a boatload of distractions over the past several days (none of which I plan to talk about in this entry, because there are plenty of other places where those things are being discussed), the reeling Pack (14-12, 3-10 ACC) welcomes their non-rivals to the PNC tonight. Carolina (21-5, 9-3 ACC) is coming […]
Big Four Rivals
Your “Unbreak My Heart” Wake Forest Open Thread
The Pack (14-11, 3-9 ACC) travels to Winston-Salem today to take on Wake Forest (14-10, 5-7 ACC). Since the last time we lost to Wake 3 weeks ago we’ve managed to go 1-4, beating a then reeling Duke team; then falling the last four times out in succession. It’s been a difficult few weeks to […]
Your “Big Monday” Duke Open Thread
Yep, Big Monday. ESPN says so. Anyone else think there’s a chance ESPN was expecting two teams with a little more lustre by the time this one rolled around? Last time out, the Pack (13-7, 2-5 ACC) fell at home to Wake, completing a 1 for 3 homestand against 3 of the weaker teams in […]
Your “It’s Not Danny Manning’s Fault But I Still Don’t Like Him” WF Open Thread
Hey, we won one. And even looked mostly good down the stretch at crunch time while salting it away after coming from behind. Still some defensive breakdowns, too many for my liking if I’m being honest. But that’s to be expected by now. Bottom line….good guys win one, 79-74. Now, let’s make it two in […]
2016 ACC Baseball Championship
Wolfpack Baseball, as well as most of the rest of the ACC…not to mention 3/4’s of the Big four…will be in Durham this week for the 2016 ACC Baseball Championship. 1/4 of the Big Four will be at home 8 miles away. See I KNOW it’s 8 miles because Dick Vitale tells me so, incessantly, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Tar heels down thin Wolfpack, 67-55
Forgive me if you wanted or expected more from us. Forgive me if you actually want to analyze and dissect Saturday’s game between NC State and UNC. But, I just don’t have it in me. I’ve got so little excitement and engagement about this season and about this team that I don’t understand why we […]
Wolfpack Women Stop Multiple Streaks, beat Duke 65-62
Wes Moore and the women’s basketball team went into Cameron Indoor Stadium and upset #22 Duke 65-62 tonight. The women stopped two very long streaks tonight: 1. Duke had not lost to NC State at Cameron since 1996 2. Duke had won 152 straight home games against unranked foes The Pack now has won 4 […]
Road Trip to Winston-Salem 2Nite
When Wolfpack Basketball (10-5, 0-2) rolls into Winston-Salem tonight for a road tilt against the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest (9-5, 0-2), both teams will be looking to avoid an 0-3 start to league play. In spite of two straight setbacks to begin ACC play, Mark Gottfried’s first 0-2 league start as head coach at […]
