10-11 Basketball
Thank God we recruited Ryan Harrow…so he could sit on the bench in crunch time
Unless you’ve been hidden under a rock, the big topic in WolfpackLand this week was Coach Lowe’s ‘questionable’ decision to sit Ryan Harrow in the last three and a half minutes of the Wolfpack’s important contest at Boston College on Tuesday night. (See how much softer and considerate we are trying to be at SFN? […]
Gold and Ovies Interview Julius Hodge and defend NC State; Sendek should want his job back at NC State
Adam Gold and Joe Ovies had a great interview with Julius Hodge yesterday afternoon. Link to interview with Julius Hodge. Also, please read this great column from Adam Gold on NC State’s basketball team. I have to give Gold and Ovies credit for defending NC State. A moron called in yesterday and made the same, […]
Benchmark Sidney Lowe: Can He Recover?
If nothing else, this should be therapeutic for NC State fans after last night’s 75-66 loss to Boston College. Sidney Lowe finds himself in mid-season at 11-5.  This isn’t necessarily a terrible record (well… it is sort of) unless you consider that our largest winning streak has been a 5-win streak over teams with mostly RPIs of […]
@ Boston College open entry
Random comments —- 9:10pm * I’ve gotten to the point that I get frustrated when I see Javi on the floor in a starting role. I recognize this is Ryan Harrow’s first road ACC game…but I can’t help it. * CJ Leslie sure does love to shoot. I wonder if it would be best to […]
BC Hoops Preview (Tues 1/11, 9PM)
As NC State’s first true challenge of their ACC schedule, I thought it would be nice to see what we’re up against in Boston College this Tuesday at 9PM (broadcasted on ESPNU). Record: BC is current 2-0 in the conference with wins over Maryland (79-74) and Georgia Tech (86-75). Both of these wins are pretty […]
NC State 90 Wake Forest 69
Lots of great conversation from today’s game in this blog entry and also on our message boards. NC State NEVER TRAILED and led a Big Four rival by 29 points with two minutes to go in the game when the Pack was up 90-61. That is just fantastic. Tracy Smith scored 23 points to help […]
State/Wake ACC Opener Open Thread (Live Blog)
I hear tell that we play basketball today. I’m picking my kids up at the airport at 3:00, so I probably won’t watch or listen to very much of it. Wake is worse than most of the sub-200 RPI cupcake teams we’ve played the last few weeks, so today is really just an exercise in […]
Mid-Season BB Roundup
1/8 Update: I made a horrible mistake when compiling the OOC SOS in the first table and totally screwed everything up. Luckily, I copied and pasted the RPI numbers from CBS into a file and so I was able to correct the table. The key changes are that: – State’s OOC schedule should be seen […]
Byting a busy Sunday
Lots of stuff going on worth discussing. Philip Rivers finishes the season as the NFL’s most prolific passer with more than 4,700 yards. Rivers and NC State’s Adrian Wilson both made the Pro Bowl this year and was discussed in this entry that includes some interesting conference analysis. Wonder how much Wolfpackers care about […]
