Overview of ACC Basketball
The ACC has limped through the first half of the conference schedule. So let’s see if it looks as bad as it feels: We have looked at the NCAAT bubble many times over the last several years. Based on those observations, I’ve developed the following criteria for ranking the teams: IN = RPI <40 and […]
P.S. – Basketball Team Lost Again
Not that it will surprise any of you, any more than it did the subdued crowd in Raleigh. The Hokies lead pretty much from start to finish, and close out a 77-69. Here’s the ESPN recap, if interested in a few of the sorry details. Like most of you, I’m much more interested in coaching […]
Let your post game meltdowns fly
As @OntheDunk said on Twitter in the closing minute of the game “LOL. UNC scrubs up 2 on our regulars and took 1 more charge than State has all season.”
218th UNC-NC State Game Preview
NC State and Carolina are meeting this Saturday at 2:00PM in Chapel Hill on ESPN, no doubt, for their 218th basketball game. This will either be more of the same against an opponent that it completely sucks to lose two, or it will be a Les Robinson moment where despite fielding an underwhelming squad, the head […]
Lowe’s NC State: The Best Squad with the Worst Team
I have been making this observation for a while, but just recently decided it was appropriate to publically hash out. For some time I have been convinced that NC State is actually a much better ball club than what it appears to be. As a baseline, I am going to compare NC State to rivals […]
Lowe’s Love of Leslie Leads to Loss
State loses 60-50 in LittleJohn Coliseum tonight after a pitiful and embarrassing performance. After leading by 19 points, 31-12, with 6:10 remaining in the first half (and 34-29 at the half), Clemson outscored State 48-19 the rest of the game. How ugly was it? Well, it was apparently the largest comeback in Clemson’s history. How […]
NC State 72 Miami 70
It could have been the ultimate disaster after losing 17 point lead at home on the day of the celebration for 100 Years of NC State Basketball. Thank God it wasn’t. Share articles, links & conversation here. For a running conversation that unfolded during the game, you can click here.
Debbie Yow is watching, waiting
The News & Observer has this article today that comes on the heels of Debbie Yow’s local radio appearance earlier in the week. This link is most definitely a pre-requisite to today’s article as the two entries fit together like hand and glove. In her first year as N.C. State’s athletic director, she’s focused on […]
Duke @ desperate NC State preview
Will NC State be “the same old Wolfpack”? Same old Wolfpack: After starting the ACC schedule at 1-0 for the first time under Sidney Lowe, N.C. State has fallen back into a familiar old pattern by starting slow, playing soft on defense, turning the ball over and shooting poorly on offense while coming up small […]
