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 […]

Weekly ACC Basketball Update
Photo from The Daily Herald I started to say, “at least the Seahawks won”…but it would be more accurate to say that the Vikings lost. Luckily, there’s already a recap of the Wake Forest game up so I feel no need to pour salt into any open wounds. So let’s start the weekly roundup […]
Basketball in Blacksburg
OK, perhaps that title is a logical absurdity. But the fact remains that the Pack travels to VT today to kick off its ACC schedule. It never really feels like winter to me until the conference portion of the schedule gets underway. This year, there was also that little issue of it being warmer at […]
Summary of ACC Basketball OOC Results
Welcome to 2016 and one of my favorite days of the year…college football on the tube all day long and my first college basketball post of the year. Along with ringing in the New Year, Jan 1 nominally marks the transition from the out-of-conference schedule to the conference portion of the regular season. So let’s […]
ACC Media Picks Pack Roundball 8th
The members of the ACC Media have cast their votes and the consensus is that the 2015 version of NC State Basketball will finish right smack in the middle. That is to say….8th in league play. Anthony “Cat” Barber was a 2nd team All-ACC pick. The Heels were picked to top out, with UVa and […]
Wolfpack Rap at ACC Media Day
Today is ACC Media Day down at ESPNU in Charlotte. All 15 teams send two players and the head coach (well except for Louisville where Rick Pitino thinks that the ACC media may ask him something besides pure basketball questions) to be interviewed by ESPN as well as other media outlets. Discussions between all players […]
ICYMI: ’15-’16 ACC BBall Schedule

In addition to Wake and UNC-CH, the Pack’s 18 game ACC schedule this […]
Basketball Recruiting Update
It’s summer time and NC State basketball recruiting is a hot topic for many Pack fans. The 2015 class could still add two more pieces in Maverick Rowan plus Georgios Papagiannis alongside lonely commit Shaun Kirk. Currently there are eight scholarship players on the roster as depth is a lingering concern for some Wolfpack fans […]
State Firmly Ranked in “Ridiculously Early” 2015/16 Top 25 Hoops Polls
Expectations are going up — way up — for Wolfpack hoops next season. It seems as soon as the last notes of “One Shining Moment” are played in the NCAA Tournament, pundits start releasing their “way too early” polls for next season. Usually, the top of their lists features blue-blood programs and others that have […]
The NBA and NCAA Should Adopt Major League Baseball’s Draft Rules
Last night, after all was said and done in the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament, Head Coach Bo Ryan of Wisconsin was a bit salty about the way that Duke had structured its team around a group of one-and-done players: All the seniors that I’ve had — hard to say the word. But every player that’s […]
