I have no read on this year’s tourney, so my picks will likely end up much more accurate than usual. Tis the way it goes. 1. North Carolina Realistic Chance to Win? Absolutely. The Holes have gotten fantastic effort from every man on the roster (since Drew II left the building), and Ol’ Roy is […]

Recruits committed to NC State, Importance of managing the transition properly
Embattled coach Sidney Lowe received a commitment over the weekend. The N&O has a brief story: Statesboro (Ga.) High boys basketball coach Lee Hill said shooting guard Jaqawn Raymond is fully aware of the possibility of a coaching change at N.C. State, but is committed to the school. “He loves the school,” Hill said Tuesday […]
BJD’s 2010-11 All-ACC Basketball Picks
Despite my (largely successful) startegy of avoiding Wolfpack games, I watched some other ACC games. Enough to bore you all with my personal picks for conference honors. Not bored enough? Here are last year’s selctions. Since my viewing hours declined, I “sanity checked” my gut feelings more than usual. I even accepted a handful of […]
2011 ACC Tournament Set
The 2010-2011 ACC Tournament pairings are set, and things couldn’t have lined themselves any worse for the NC State. If the Wolfpack were to pull some kind of miracle, we would have to do it by driving a truck right through a projected line-up of programs against which we have failed miserably since de-emphasizing basketball […]
ACC Tournament Seeding Scenarios
It is not as though there is a lot of excitement for this year’s ACC Tournament amongst NC State fans – or throughout the conference for that matter. Nonetheless, ‘caring’ about the ACC Tournament is too deep in our blood to totally ignore it. This blog entry will break down the impact of this weekend’s […]
“The Legend of Billy the Kid” and how he “enraged” Roy Williams
There are discussions being had about the eventual open NC State basketall coaching position on talk radio, in local pubs, and on every NC State message board on the Internet. I don’t have a lot of time to add much commentary, but I thought it would be interesting to look back at how one of […]
ACC Hoops Tidbits (Irving Returns?)
As coaching search season cranks into overdrive, I wanted to take a quick look at some happenings around the league. * I have it on very good authority that Duke’s best player from November/December (given that Nolan Smith is a shoe-in for POY, how f-ing scary is that?), Kyrie Irving, will definitely play in Saturday […]
UNC Fan(graduate?) George Stephens upset with NC State students
There was an interesting letter to the editor in today’s N&O. Some N.C. State University students waved their middle fingers as their greeting to the Carolina basketball players at the Feb. 23 game. I went to Carolina, but I have invested more volunteer time in State than in my own school. What some of its […]
Weekend Basketball (and coaching position) Review
A lot of discussion in the comments section of our open thread related to the Wolfpack’s win on Saturday vs Georgia Tech. But, while we are on a good thing then lets not ignore some highlights and the game stories below. The most prominent thing I gleaned from watching those reports – in addition to […]
ESPN Blog: NC State tailor-made for Tubby(Updated Tubby entry – 3:15 pm)
Updated at 3:15 pm: Apparently Eamonn Brennan of College Basketball Nation Blog hasn’t gotten the memo from the national talking heads yet. He thinks one of the best coaches of the last 20 years might actually be a realistic target for NC State: Smith is clearly frustrated, and with good reason; 2010-11 is the second-straight […]
