Barry Jacobs: “NC State’s Jordan Vandenberg emerges on the court”
Barry Jacobs of the News and Observer takes a close look at NC State center Jordan Vandenberg today, and some of the quotes from the article are illuminating not only for the senior center but also for the entire Wolfpack team’s mindset: “I’m not trying to play for my own personal glory,” he said repeatedly […]
Hoops Exams Are Coming Soon for the Wolfpack Team
As anyone who’s ever attended NC State can tell you, this week is the least wonderous time of the year: it’s the heart of exams for the students, a time that means late nights studying, tense hours in the classroom for even the best prepared, and the final sprint to the finish of fall semester. […]
The Beach invades Raleigh [Updated for use as game thread]
Dan Jennings anchors Long Beach State’s front line. (Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY) – [UPDATE: Saturday 1:30pm] – Seems silly to waste this wonderful preview by Jigsy, so this is now also your game thread for today (yes, it might also be somewhat from laziness, but who’s to say????) -Wufpacker – Long Beach State that is, this […]
Getting to know Northwestern
The Chris Collins led Wildcats of Northwestern will be the Wolfpack’s opponent in tonight’s matchup in the ACC/B10 Challenge (ESPNU 7:30pm).

ACC/B1G Challenge – 2013 Edition
The Pack doesn’t get its shot at the Wildcats of Northwestern until tomorrow (PNC Arena, 7:30pm, ESPNU), but there are still six games tonight (at least two of which I have at least lukewarm interest in), and then six more tomorrow night. – The ACC holds an all time series lead vs The B1G by […]
An Improving Wolfpack Hoops Team Still Has Some Work To Do
For quite a while last night against Eastern Kentucky, NC State’s basketball team looked like it did a few games back in their shock loss to NC Central: befuddled by the Colonel’s 2-3 zone defense, the Wolfpack couldn’t buy a bucket. At the 5:08 mark of the first half, Eastern Kentucky led 22-12, State was […]
At Least There’s Basketball
The anti-climactic finish to the 2013 Football season is mercifully over. At least for us. Time to reload those fragile emotions for basketball. – The Pack is at home tonight facing the Colonels of Eastern Kentucky. ESPN3 game, already underway (Pack currently trailing…don’t say it) A Link to a non-ESPN3 stream for those who need […]
Wolfpack/Credit Union Game Thread
You may remember Florida Gulf Coast University from last year’s NCAAT run. Well, you at least remember their uptempo, innovative coach…and of course his smoking hot model/actress wife. Yeah, the move to Southern Cal was probably fine and dandy with her. Coach Andy and Coach Andy’s wife won’t be in Raleigh tonight, but they live […]
Potential Panic Button Thread (NC Central Leads at the Half)
Yeah, yeah, the announcers keep saying this is a “veteran Central team” – losing this game would be completely unacceptable, even in an unpredictable year. Let’s hope we come out on fire and quell my nerves.
