NC State’s win over Duke Wednesday night was, undoubtedly, huge. Huge for the 2009-2010 version of the Wolfpack, but also huge for the program as a whole. Here’s some links from the web today to help recap the win. Enjoy these, because come Friday morning it’s on to Maryland.

The Sidney Lowe Rebound
As a 2004 NC State graduate, there wasn’t really much to write home about when it came to sports. A few years of Philip, a Gator Bowl win, and a few really disappointing ACC Tournament Championship games… I moved to the midwest after college and was in a small bar watching Julius Hodge take on […]
Pack Pounds Blue Devils 88-74
NC State delivered 40 full minutes of basketball feeding off the energy of the rowdy RBC crowd and an elevated defensive intensity that included a rare full court press to keep seventh-ranked Duke at arms length and finish with a resounding 88-74 upset. While much praise will deservedly be directed on Tracy Smith’s and Dennis […]

NC State vs Duke: Weird facial expressions for the win
For those who don’t get that joke, see Jon Scheyer tonight around 9 o’clock and 30 seconds. It will be really clear. Might not be any funnier, but it will most certainly be clear. The more I’ve perused message boards and other blogs the last couple of days regarding the Duke game, the more optimism […]
Monday news and notes: optimism edition
Just a few quick hits from the weekend in ACC basketball  for those who didn’t pay attention to any games besides NC State’s near-comeback/heartbreaker against Clemson. Georgia Tech 73, Carolina 71 Georgia Tech (13-4, 2-2) blew a 20-point lead of its own in Chapel Hill Saturday before getting a big bucket late from Zach Peacock to seal the deal […]
State comeback falls just short in 73-70 loss to Clemson
Watching the Pack come all the way back from a 21-point first half deficit to get within one point of the Tigers was a lot of fun and showed me a lot about the character of this year’s group, but it still stings to lose another close game, especially at home. Here’s the box score. The […]

Got thoughts? Post ’em here. This is the official “peek between the gaps in your fingers” game post. No Live Blog today (sorry). Check Twitter before and during the game for updates and check back after the game for some instant analysis.
Wolfpack will look to tame Tigers with slower pace
After Tuesday night’s upset win against Florida State on the road, the argument could certainly be made that Saturday’s matchup with ranked Clemson is now infinitely more important. NC State went to FSU, got below average performances from its top three players (Gonzalez, Smith and Horner), and still managed to pull out the victory over […]
The one where NC State beats a ranked team and Scott Wood becomes my hero
Did that really happen? So it definitely wasn’t a perfect performance by any stretch of the imagination, but I must say watching NC State beat FSU Tuesday night was just what I needed. Tuesday’s performance by the Wolfpack proves what I’ve thought all season, NC State does in fact have the ability to compete with […]
