BJD’s Revised and Extended 1/4/09 Basketball Program Thoughts
After yesterday’s predictable, yet still somehow heartbreaking loss to Florida, all that remains is ACC play (barring a shocking loss to NC Central, which is currently 0-16 and 347th out of 347 teams in the Sagarin ratings). Here is a run down of what we do and don’t know: 1) NC State will compete with, […]
Bytes: Same old story for Wolfpack (7:30pm)
Exhausting. The absence of a strong backcourt bites NC State again as the Wolfpack fails to handle the ball appropriately throughout the day and has nobody who can play defense against opposing guards – like Nick Calathus. If only John Wall is watching and can recognize the solid balance comprised in the Wolfpack’s roster before […]

BJD’s Basketball Program Thoughts (UPDATE: Confirmed – Ferguson Out 3-6 Weeks)
First, stop watching this team as if had (or has) a chance to be good. It doesn’t. Whatever long-shot chance NC State ever had went down the drain when we first saw Farnold’s knee in action (he simply can’t cut on it playing defense). Keep in mind that our best guard, by far, is Trevor […]
Stepping into basketball season by stepping into the past (Updated 5pm)
Today is the day. Monday, December 22, 2008. Today is the day that we naturally step into elevated interest in the 2008-2009 basketball season. You can almost say that today is the day that we really kick off our attention to the season as the Wolfpack will host Top 25 ranked Marquette in the RBC […]
