SFN: Long time readers may remember some of our old entries (from 2005-2006) that we named “Perpetually Disappearing Pieâ€. We won’t link them here since our most recent server transition removed the key graphs from the entries.

Update: Lowe Says He Hasn’t Talk To Costner About Costner’s Plans Sidney Lowe said in a press conference today that he hasn’t spoken with NC State player Brandon Costner about about leaving the team. “That wasn’t something I wanted to get involved in right now,†[Sidney Lowe] said. “We want him to concentrate on doing […]
UNC 93, NC State76
Tar Heel fans, who made the trip to the RBC Center for the first two rounds of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, turned up in pockets. With their light blue and the pink in the N.C. State student section — an homage to Kay Yow — the place looks like a maternity ward. Just a guess, […]

Four Tiers in ACC Hoops
After today’s action, all ACC teams have played 5 or 6 league games. It seems to me that some symmetry is starting to emerge. You can categorize these teams in the following groups of three: Tier I (Excellent) – Duke, UNC, Wake Forest. All of these teams are legitimate Final Four contenders. Once the polls […]
Wolfpack can’t overcome atrocious early effort (Updated at 5pm)
NC State’s basketball team decided to show up for the second half of today’s game at Boston College but by then the damage was already done.
