It is hard for me to stay on top of the performances of all of the ACC Basketball teams so early in the season. So, I like to have a little help setting the table on early season developments to get prepared for conference play. Rush The Court has five ACC articles for you today […]

Five NC State players finished in double figures – Leslie (19), Howell (17), Warren (16), Brown (10) and Purvis (11). Due to our athleticism and fast breaking ability, NC […]
The Jimmy V Legacy
I originally published “Laugh. Think. Cry.” in 2009, but it seems especially fitting to link it today, as State prepares to face Connecticut tonight at Madison Square Garden in the annual Jimmy V Classic. Having been written in 2009, before The Carolina Way was finally revealed as the giant lie we State fans have always […]
TJ Warren “Has that Knack”
Lots of Wolfpack Football topics to go around lately, but let’s not forget that it’s December, and that NC State does still have a basketball team that it hopes will (eventually) be among the nation’s best before the ’12-’13 season is out.

A MAJOR opportunity for NC State’s struggling men’s basketball team to find some redemption after struggling with focus, effort and fundamentals in the early part of the season. Lorenzo Brown and CJ Leslie need to break through their funks if Mark Gottfried’s Wolfpack is to weather the tough atmosphere of Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.
Tuesday Tidbits
NC STATE BASKETBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) Gottfried: Wolfpack trying to regain its groove against No. 3 Michigan There’s something missing from N.C. State’s basketball team and has been for the past two games. Turnovers have hurt, coach Mark Gottfried said, and the execution on offense needs to be better as does the team’s post defense. […]
Thomas de Theay leaving NC State [Updated 2:45pm]
When all is said and done, DeShawn Painter’s impatience and Amile Jefferson’s last minute change of heart and ultimate spurn of NC State may end up deciding the ultimate fate of the 2012-2013 Wolfpack.

Welcoming Eddie B. Home; State hosts UNC-A
NC State returns home from Sunday’s debacle in Puerto Rico to play host to a familiar favorite, the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs. I say ‘familiar favorite’ because the Bulldogs are coached by one of our our all-time favorite Wolfpackers, Eddie Biedenbach. NC State is 17-0 all-time in meetings with UNC-Asheville. The last time the two schools met […]
