After this weekend, only tournament basketball remains. The second most exciting stretch of the year for sports fans (after the NFL playoffs) is about to begin in earnest. Unlike last year, NC State still has a pulse and something to play for. Remember last year’s soul-crushing ACCT loss to the Canes? Or how about last […]

Boston College Game Thread
I don’t feel like live blogging tonight, but have at it in the comments.
Previewing Senior Night
One last regular season home game for Ben McCauley, Courtney Fells, and almost certainly Brandon Costner. Will they go out with a bang, or a whimper?

Maryland Game Thread/Semi-Live Blog
I enjoyed semi-live blogging the Wake game, so I’ll try to do the same tonight. I am very confident tonight, and expect a fairly comfortable (8-12 point) win.

Thanks to Chop for neatly summarizing not only NC State’s in-game scenario, but also the rest of their season: the Wolfpack has no margin for error, and not only does each game rest on each four minute segment of their last few regular season contests, but each segment could also seal their post-season fate as […]
