Pack not DOA in revised ACC rankings
Despite struggling through a respectable early season schedule without the help of Tracy Smith, Sidney Lowe’s Wolfpack has not been declared Dead on Arrival before ACC play begins. Who knows if it is optimism? or realism that the conference is particularly weak? or a lack of exposure of how the Pack has played. Nonetheless, I’ll […]
Seriously, Delaware State? Pack Narrowly Avoids Humiliating Upset
Here’s J.P. Giglio’s writeup. I didn’t watch or listen, just saw the score on the ticker of Boise State vs. Utah, so I don’t have any real analysis. But…wow. Just wow. This is Year Five of NC State’s version of the Clyde Drexler experiment. Thank God we finally have a real AD. Much like jolly […]
0–4 Out of Conference puts Pack in a bind
In the previous four years of Sidney Lowe’s guidance, NC State’s Basketball team has proven an ability to win tough out of conference games whether played in the RBC Center or on the road – Villanova, Cincinnati, Davidson, Seton Hall, Marquette, others. Unfortunately…that didn’t happen for the Wolfpack this year and we now find ourselves […]
Will Tracy Smith help the Wolfpack’s scoring droughts?
Last week we discussed how much the Wolfpack is ‘Missing Tracy Smith’. Today, the N&O gave us an update on the Pack’s wait for Tracy’s return. Still, Smith has yet to return, though coaches thought he may have played limited minutes on Thursday. Smith practiced with the team earlier in the week, but soreness in […]

He is not practicing as a result of that injury and his status for the bowl game is unknown. Hogan has 17 days to try and heal in enough time to […]
Freshmen lead Wolfpack to 79-60 win
Pack advances to 5-3 by holding serve. Next up is Youngstown State on Thursday night in a game that will be televised at 7pm. Link Freshman Ryan Harrow scored a season-high 20 points to help North Carolina Statebeat South Carolina Upstate 79-60 on Saturday. Freshman Lorenzo Brown also had a season-high with 17 points for […]
Missing Tracy Smith
I’ve been very proud of NC State fans for not excessively harping on Tracy Smith’s absence due to a knee injury the last few weeks. It is a testament to our fans as well as to the program because I think an inherent feeling from most is that the program has enough talent to absorb […]
ACC’s biggest BBall disappointment?
Sidney Lowe scathed in national media
As NC State’s Men’s Basketball team prepares for a HUGE opportunity (without Tracy Smith) tonight at Syracuse (click for preview), the hangover from the unacceptable performance at Wisconsin continues. During the Wisconsin game, I thought color commentator, Dan Dakich, did an excellent job of pointing out NC State’s lack of heart, effort, defense and structure […]
