Last year, one of the first real signs of the bad season to come for the Wolfpack hoops squad came when State visited Greenville for a rare road game against the East Carolina Pirates. After that game, we said that State had Rock Bottom.

Friedlander: Wolfpack Still Searching For Its Identity
Brett Friedlander of the Wilmington Star-News has an interesting column this morning, in which he posits that so far this year NC State as yet to reveal itself as either a good — or a bad — hoops squad: ACC Insider: Wolfpack Still Searching For Its Identity Five games in, the Wolfpack remains just as […]
Fells Questionable Tomorrow Against Winston-Salem State
Sidney Lowe said that small forward Courtney Fells is questionable for tomorrow’s game in Reynolds Coliseum against Winston-Salem State: Lowe said Friday that the Wolfpack’s second-leading scorer didn’t practice Thursday because of an ankle bruise he suffered last weekend against Davidson. It’s unclear whether Fells will be ready against the Rams. Lowe thinks Fells would […]
Curry 32-Footer Sinks Pack
WRAL Sports: Curry Drops 44 Points, Davidson 72 – NC State 67 Overall, I was really pleased with State’s performance and Sid’s gameplan. Without Curry’s prayer, State would have had the ball at the end shooting for the win (with OT as worst-case scenario). The effort was there, and the defense was much better. Until […]

The Wolfpack did it with defense tonight, cruising to a 26 point victory. (For the record, Davidson previously beat Winthrop by an almost identical, 27 points.) The […]
And so it begins…NC State’s starting point guard sidelined with knee injury
Another season, another injury to a key component of the Wolfpack’s program. I wish that I didn’t have to bump all of the great football-related entries that precede this…but, we can’t just leave this out there now that we have a little ‘official’ clarity. After one game of the season, Farnold Degand already has tendinitis […]
Coach Lowe’s radio interview + some recruiting
I generally skip any and everything that is related to Bomani Jones…but, I forced myself to listen to this interview because it was with Coach Lowe and I found it worth my time. So, I didn’t want to call it to your attention if you hadn’t heard it. Additionally, ACCSports.com/ACC Sports Journal is allowing free […]
