Pack is desperately(?) looking to start a positive trend as they push toward the end of the ’15-’16. Clemson is surprisingly(?) within striking distance of an ACCT #1 seed. Who wants it more? We’ll find out. Talk about it…. –

Basketball Weekly Roundup
I enjoy doing these weekly updates on ACC basketball. (I guess that’s a good thing because the pay certainly sucks.) But I would hate to do a bracket for the entire NCAAT on a weekly or more frequent basis. The danger in trying to do too much too frequently was nicely illustrated before the Duke/UNC […]

Media starting to recognize Cat Barber’s exploits
h/t newsobserver.com and Ethan Hyman After NC State’s 99-88 victory over Big 4 Rival Wake Forest on Saturday, Wolfpack fans all over were talking about the continued incredible play of Cat Barber.

ACC Basketball Weekly Update
Strange week in that the “mid-week” games were front-loaded on Monday and Tuesday, with only two games total left for Wed and Thursday. Oh and the two games on Wed and Thurs weren’t worth the time to watch. Wednesday’s game was against two teams in the bottom third with nothing left to play for and […]
Basketball Update – One Month Left
Well, there’s one month left in the regular season and then what’s normally the best time of the college season starts. While this year hasn’t been much fun for State fans, there is potential for a record number of ACC teams to make the Big Dance. So let’s get to it: RPI TABLE Since there […]
Gottfried unhappy about the way FSU game was officiated
H/T to the Tallahassee Democrat. After Florida State held on to beat NC State 77-73 last night, Mark Gottfried was unhappy with how the game was officiated. Despite the 31 points and continued fantastic play by Cat Barber, he was double teamed, pushed, held, and too physical with the point guard. Gottfried said: “My personal […]

State downs Canes in resounding fashion
It was a great win and a really fun day at PNC Arena. State played loose but with really good focus from the start and hit key free throws over the last three minutes that served to extend the lead and give state a resounding 85-69 margin of victory. Heck, the Pack got three or […]
ACC Basketball Update – One Month In
The first month of conference play seems to have flown by with a number of surprises, both good and bad. UVa’s comeback from down nine with a minute and half to play (ending with a banked in three-pointer at the buzzer) captures both the good and bad depending on which fan base you talk to. […]
