Nothing to lose, everything to gain – NC State is not on the NCAAT bubble now, and that status doesn’t change with a loss. Unless, of course, the Deacs really destroy the Pack. That would indeed qualify as a significant setback, which could harm team confidence going forward. This won’t be a full live blog, […]

Playing the Preachers: Wake Forest Pre-Game Discussion
Tonight, the Wolfpack plays Wake Forest for the second time in a must-win game for both teams. State, for its part, needs to get another quality win to pad any potential NCAA-bid resume it may be hoping to assemble, and Wake, well, Wake needs to slow its recent skid and descent from the #1 position […]
Monday Basketball Bytes
Let’s kick off the week with some basketball. Crunch =====> I have been accused by some of my friends of being too ‘soft’ on the current basketball situation and being more optimistic than the average fan.

There are four post-season tournaments now: […]

 NCSU (14-10) 36 44 80 #3 UNC (24-2) 39 50 89 Carolina was too much for NC State to handle last night in Chapel Hill last night, and they handed the Wolfpack an 89-80 loss. The Wolfpack played well in the first half of the game, holding the #3 Heels to only a three-point […]
