H/T here That’s a person in a wheelchair storming the court. Or rolling the court. However you want to look at it. They received some assistance, sure, but with that help the wheelchair was first to center court. It’s hard to see what happens next, though it looks like the incoming crush of students plows […]

To BE the Man you have to BEAT the Man: #20 NC State 84 – #1 Duke 76 [Updated Sunday Morning]
NC STATE BASKETBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) N.C. State knocks off No. 1 Duke 84-76 It’s one thing to be picked ahead of Duke or North Carolina in the preseason, it’s another for N.C. State to beat its neighbors in blue. Richard Howell and C.J. Leslie helped No. 20 N.C. State knock off No. 1 Duke […]
Howell taking charge
WRAL has a good article about Richard Howell. “We’ve got to box him out,” Plumlee said. “Sometimes his best shot is a missed shot because he just goes and gets it and gets closer to the basket. He’s a tough player, plays physical and he’s a high-motor guy inside and around the basket.” I thought […]
Duke vs NC State for ACC supremacy
So far this year, it appears that there are two teams that are a level above the rest of the ACC (with some apologies to Miami, who can join these two if they keep playing as well as they are right now). These two teams will be meeting with first place on the line at […]
Will Amile Jefferson be a difference maker on Saturday?
Talk about the irony. First, NC State lost out a not so competitive recruiting battle for Raleigh’s Ryan Kelly more than four years ago. Then, last year, Amile Jefferson (click for tag) broke the hearts of WolfpackNation when he publicly announced for Duke just days after he told the NC State coaches and some players […]

Wednesday Woolgathering
NC STATE BASKETBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) Stung last season, Wolfpack warily prepares for Yellow Jackets N.C. State avoided most of the pitfalls on the ACC schedule last season with a notable exception. Georgia Tech beat N.C. State 82-71 in Raleigh last January. It was one of only four ACC wins for Georgia Tech last season […]
#20 State & #1 Duke continue collision course; WRAL continues to be awful
The college basketball polls have seemed quite wonky this season (and every season). We’ve chronicled some of this in our message forums, including this specific example from CBS’ Seth Davis last week when he dropped NC State at least four spots while the Wolfpack was in the middle of nice win streak against a series […]
Can State break a streak at BC today?
Mark Gottfried did a lot of things right last year in his first season as NC State’s Head Basketball Coach. One thing that I liked is that he went out and took care of business by beating down programs that we SHOULD beat but have failed to exert dominance over in recent years. One of […]
End of Preseason Summary
Now that the college basketball preseason has wrapped up, let’s take our annual look around the ACC to see what there is to see. Long time readers will remember that I have a simplistic way to judge when a team from a BCS conference has accomplished enough to clear the bubble and land into the […]
