Last night, the youthful Pack falls at home to the #25 Mizzou Tigers out of the SEC. All things considered, that sentence doesn’t sound all that terrible. In spite of recent successes, I hadn’t (and still haven’t) built up any undue expectations of this team, as I know they are still a work in […]

Pack/Mizzou LiveBlog
Time to make Frank Haith more dazed and confused than usual! The LiveBlog returns, to cure your post-Christmas depression. Or to give you a safe venue to wallow in it. Your mileage may vary. 7:54 – It sure will be nice when our game starts, and we can all turn away from this dishwasher-dull Louisville/Da […]
NC State Wolfpack vs Missouri Tigers
Our beloved Wolfpack and Frank Haith’s Missouri Tigers of the ‘Show Me State’ tangle tonight in a huge out of conference affair at 8:00 on ESPN2. Haith doesn’t have much of a bench, playing just 7 guys in the regular rotation but those that are playing are pretty dang good. On Offense they are pretty […]
As men surge, Wolfpack Women deserve attention
Today’s News & Observer featured an article on the fantastic job that first year head coach, Wes Moore is doing with the 2013-2014 Wolfpack Women. The SFN author team felt bad when our Christmas holiday schedule interfered with our ability to post something last weekend celebrating the women’s 10 point defeat of #12 ranked LSU […]
The Wolfpack vs The Pirates (who don’t do anything)
This afternoon at 12pm (RSN) the Pirates (who are afraid of everything, Buckets, Vandwagon, Wicker furniture) will be coming to Raleigh to battle the freshly tested Wolfpack of NC State. Last time out for both squads the Pack were able to secure a big resume building victory at Tennessee while the Pie-rats finished a track-meet […]
Big Resume building victory at Tennessee for the Wolfpack
The Wolfpack just seems to be getting better and better. The chemistry this team shows is excellent. Tonight, they went to Knoxville as an eight point underdog and had an extremely impressive victory over a Tennessee team that is expected to be in the NCAA Tournament in March. NC State lead wire-to-wire in a 65-58 […]
Avoiding Volmageddon Redux LiveBlog
Well, it can’t really be Volmageddon (name coming from the de facto last game of TOB era), since even a 70-point loss wouldn’t be a punishing death blow to the season. But Tennessee is a legit NCAAT-caliber team, and to beat them in Knoxville would definitely boost the Wolfpack resume. Dan Dakich is announcing, so […]
Wolfpack Volunteer to scale Rocky Top
Tonight the Pack head to Knoxville, TN to square off against the Volunteers of Tennessee (7pm ESPNU). Head Coach Cuonzo Martin is in his third season at Tennessee and is projected to take his team to the NCAA Tournament this season. If you’ll recall Martin was one of the possible Tier 2 (or 3) candidates […]
Mark Gottfried Would Like To Play a Conference Game in Reynolds Coliseum
With all due respect to the late Jim Valvano and his now-realized dream of a new basketball home court that is the PNC Arena, the home place of the true heart and soul of NC State basketball is Reynolds Coliseum. Any Wolfpack fan old enough to have seen basketball games there in the Valvano era […]
Remember the (Detroit) Titans (now w/Live-Blog)
Saturday Night at 6pm (ESPN3.com) the beloved Wolfpack will host the Detroit Titans in Historic Reynolds Coliseum. Detroit (#160, 5-5) lost 4 starters from last year’s squad that went 20-13, finished 2nd in the Horizon League, and went to the NIT. They have a lot of new faces (2 Transfers, 1 JUCO, and 3 freshmen) […]
