We discussed the importance of the remainder of the Wolfpack’s non-conference in this great entry that you should read if you haven’t. In the piece we discuss that the Pack has an opportunity to run the table against a nice stretch of six opponents that would produce an 11-3 record (and a Top 50 RPI) […]
07-08 Basketball
HUGE Weekend for NC State Basketball
Make NO MISTAKE about it — NC State’s tournament-like schedule (Friday/Sunday) of home games against Davidson (7pm tonight on Fox Sports South) and Cincinnati (7:30pm Sunday on all Fox Sports networks) represent pivotal and highly important games for the Wolfpack’s 2007-2008 post season dreams. Beacuse of State’s two unacceptable losses to New Orleans and East […]
NC State 74 SC State 49 (Updated Sunday)
A lot of different guys played legitimate minutes for the Wolfpack today. State ‘advances’ to 5-3 despite shooting 2 of 16 from the three-point line and 18-30 from the free throw line. Of note: * Javi Gonzalez played more minutes than Farnold Degand * Tracy Smith played double figure minutes (but went 0-4 from the […]
Fowler Says Pack Will Work It Out While Implicitly Criticizing Himself (Updated 2:45pm)
Surprise, surprise…”Coach Fowler” is talking. At the Raleigh Sports Club on the same day that he called into 850TheBuzz, Fowler noted the Pack will be playing just its third home game Saturday when it comes off semester exams to face South Carolina State at the RBC Center. “Has any other State team played five of […]
Lee Fowler’s Idea of Improvement
I won’t make this long because it hurts my head too much to type. When Lee Fowler wanted to earn political favor with the more respected and poweful Terry Holland Fowler foolishly scheduled a road game for the NC State Basketball program in Greenville – where: (1) NO other NC State basketball team had ever […]
Andrew Jones said a lot; N&O added to it; SFN finishes it off
On Monday we asked why should we put ourselves through the pain of typing it when Andrew Jones’ article says it all? On Tuesday, the News & Observer chimed in with their heavy hitters. First, Chip Alexander asked, “What is going on with the Wolfpack” and then Caulton Tudor calmly opined that “The Wolfpack isn’t […]
BJD95’s Primer on “Joint and Several Liability”
I avoid litigation like the plague, but I do remember the basic tort law concept of “joint and several liability.” As always, Wikipedia has a nice rundown. For example, say A, B, and C together scheme an old woman out of $300K. A court will likely find all 3 individuals jointly and severally liable for […]
Terry Holland: “We Needed This”
Talk about getting a monkey off your back. This was it. “I’m not sure I’m the one to address what it means to the program,” said first-year Pirate head coach Mack McCarthy. “[But] it was a lot of fun and an unbelievable atmosphere.” “We needed this,” added ECU athletic director Terry Holland, who got State […]
Rock Bottom. ECU Gets First Victory Against an ACC Team; Lowe’s Honeymoon Over
Where to start. Poor preparation. No defense. No rebounding. Poor coaching in a game that should have never been played. After compiling a 17-0 historical record over the Pirates, NC State loses the program’s first game in history against East Carolina. Prior to tonight, ECU was 0-57 against ACC opponents. Most ACC opponents weren’t dumb […]
BBall: Saturday Bytes @ the 1 Month & 50 Year Mark
Yes, State plays at ECU tonight. And, no, we do not think that the trip makes any sense. (Neither does Sidney Lowe). But, other than this link to a preview of the game we are not going to spend very much time on ECU today. Some relevant bytes today: * The N&O composed a very […]
