The Pack has had a week for Brown to heal up and get back into game shape. Hopefully it also gives Buckets and Purvis a chance to get mentally back in the game. Thanks to the ACC I have no desire to watch ACC basketball outside of the Pack so I have not seen VT […]
12-13 Basketball
Let’s get it (re)started!
We are just past the half-way mark in the Wolfpack’s 2012-2013 ACC Basketball season. While the season hasn’t gone quite as swimmingly as we all would’ve liked, things could be a lot worse. Sheesh! How weird is it that things have changed so much where we can accurately characterize a Wolfpack performance that is ranked […]

NC STATE BASKETBALL Jacey Zembal (TheWolfpacker.com) Lorenzo Brown, Tyler Lewis to share backcourt duties Does freshman point guard Tyler Lewis’ role change with Lorenzo Brown back? “I think so. I think he earned the right to play. He’s been very reliable. He’s played pretty effective. We obviously need all of our guys. We only have […]

NC STATE BASKETBALL Jonathon Jones (N&O) Wood’s 3 gives NC State a 58-57 win over Clemson “Although at times he’s good there, it was important that we got exactly what we wanted,†said Gottfried, who alluded to Leslie’s travel in the post just two possessions earlier. “There are times I’ve let my team play before […]
State beats Clemson
It was plenty ugly, especially the first half when State executed poorly and played uninspired. But the Pack ended a three-game losing streak (and five-of-seven skid) on Scott Wood’s three-point game-winner with one second remaining. Richard Howell was again a beast with another double-double (16/11) and although it won’t show up in the box score, […]
Clemson game thread
Given BJD’s recent history with game threads I think it is a good idea to mix things up. I think we win this one by 13. The first half stays close but we pull away in the second. This starts our run to finish 11-7 in the conference.
Friday Farrago
NC STATE BASKETBALL Bret Strelow (FayObserver.com) Wolfpack need to shake off slump N.C. State headed to Clemson last season with hopes of ending an untimely three-game losing streak. The Wolfpack faces the same predicament this weekend. And it can’t afford another loss at Littlejohn Coliseum. N.C. State, the ACC preseason favorite, fell to .500 in […]
Only a ‘miracle’ will put Lorenzo Brown on the floor tonight
This is why Saturday’s loss at home to Miami was so important. North Carolina State point guard Lorenzo Brown will miss Thursday night’s game at Duke barring “a miracle,” a source told CBSSports.com Thursday afternoon. Brown injured his ankle in last week’s loss at Virginia. The 6-foot-5 junior did not play in Saturday’s loss at […]
Wednesday Woolgathering
Laura Keeley (N&O) Duke, N.C. State have traded places since first encounter Momentum is certainly great and advantageous, but it can all vanish in a second. Or, in N.C. State’s case, in 0.8 seconds. The Wolfpack (16-6, 5-4 ACC) had a one-point lead against Miami on Saturday until Reggie Johnson tipped in a rebound with […]

NC STATE BASKETBALL Stephen Schramm (FayObserver.com) Little movement on injury front for Duke’s Ryan Kelly and N.C. State’s Lorenzo Brown There was little movement on the injury statuses of N.C. State point guard Lorenzo Brown and Duke forward Ryan Kelly on Monday. Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski addressed the health of […]
