Sidney Lowe continued his mastery of “Basketball Grobe” tonight as the NC State Wolfpack won for the third time in the last four games. The Wolfpack is now 15-7 with an ACC record that now stands at .500 at 4-4. NC State never trailed in route to our second consecutive win over a team ahead […]

Sid Takes on “Basketball Grobe” Tonight (VT Thread)
There’s an early (7:00) tip tonight, as the Pack takes on the Castrated Turkeys on ESPNU. Before the season started, you wouldn’t have been surprised that one team enters the contest in sole possession of third place. But nobody would have predicted Virginia Tech to be that team. After losing their best big man and […]
Video from Sunday and Student Cheering Conversation
We already have post-game entry open open for comments about the game. The excellent video in this entry is from the N&O’s great coverage of the Wake-State game. Additionally, we’d like to offer a special thanks to the N&O for covering the end of the game so well as you will see in the video […]
Big Ben Beats The Clock (NC State 67, Wake 65)
Video Highlights | Box Score | Recap| Photos| Take THAT ghost of Chris Paul and the decade where NC State couldn’t win a close game if our life depended on it! BEFORE the last play of the game, I had already written the following for the postgame entry – Player of the game – Ben […]
Wake Forest Game Entry; N&O – Pack Lacks Identity
Halftime Update: Wake 31 State 24 * Simple reason why NC State is not winning this game – SHOOTING. It’s not just that State only hit 2 of 11 three pointers (both by Courtney Fells. It is that State missed/bricked multiple WIDE OPEN threes – at least three of which were from the top of […]
Pack Plays Well For an ENTIRE HALF! (Duke 92, NC State 72)
And naturally, we end the game down twenty and in complete surrender mode on defense. Have some pride to wear the uniform, and at least hit somebody if you don’t want to get into defensive or rebounding position. But don’t stand there holding your junk while a guy drives for an uncontested layup. Not that […]
Pack takes on the Green Devils tonight
It’s a game no one expects the Pack to win, at Cameron Indoor Stadium against the No. 3 team in the nation, the Duke Green1 Devils. The facts of the matter are, however, that it’s a rivalry game and it’s the ACC, so all bets are off. To win, the Pack will need superb PG […]
Making Sense of the ACC
ESPN.com’s expanded ACC standings. I probably should have added a question mark to the title, because it’s a difficult task. One thing is abundantly clear – Duke and UNC are significantly better than everyone else. I expect them both to be no worse than #2 seeds in the NCAAT. Damn it. After that, it’s less […]
Miami Beats Clemson, Potentially Helps Pack
Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes beat Clemson, 75-72, today in a key ACC match-up that may ultimately serve to support NC State’s slim chances to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the 2007-2008 college basketball regular season comes to a close. I definitely understand that Clemson will have a stronger mathematical impact on NC State’s RPI […]
Wolfpack Battles to Key Road Win! NC State 69 FSU 66
We closed the previous entry to open up a new one for the second half. NC State led 36-31 at halftime based solely on a 17-0 run to end the first half. At halftime I wrote, ‘How crazy is it to say that NC State looked HORRIBLE except for that 17-0 run.’ I know that […]
