The photo came from N&O last week with no specific photographer being credited. Obviously I didn’t look for a photo from Sunday’s game. After the soul-sapping game on Sunday, I’m not in the mood to dream up a snappy introduction to the weekly conference overview. So let’s jump in straight to the good stuff […]

Your “Carolina Sucks” Game Thread (updated….sort of)
“Carolina Sucks” Even that’s not good enough for them. I wrote this post yesterday, then they got skeert of the weather. I’ve been out to the ABC store twice but they couldn’t play a basketball game. Yes, we got about six inches in Northern Orange County. But still…… Oh well…this is the extent of my […]
Your “Holy Crap I Forgot About This Game” Game Thread
Oh Crap. Sorry Dudes. Lots going on lately. Yesterday, I knew this game was today. Today, however….I blanked. Sorry. So this is gonna be short and sweet. Well, short at least…. – Last time out the young Pack (11-3, 0-1 ACC) got spanked pretty good in South Beach. Tonight, they return home to face a […]
ACC BB – Preseason Summary
Normally I kick back on New Year’s Day, watch football, and contemplate the meaning of life; which for the next several months is better known as the RPI Ranking. However, an ugly stomach bug killed any desire for blogging, and hence my late entry to start the basketball season. In round numbers, the OOC games […]
[Bball] A Defensive Breakdown: What Are We Doing Wrong?
This is a repost from this forum post. User Xphoenix87 did such a fantastic job that it had to be re-posted here. The N.C. State Wolfpack have defensive problems. That’s no secret. There’s been no shortage of discussion about it among State fans. Often, though, our discussions of defensive problems are abstract and vague, commonly […]
daU Comes for a Visit – Miami Open Thread
Greetings Wolven brethren. I’m getting a late start again today, so this is going to be short and sweet probably. Another Hurricane arrives today at Carter-Finley. Hopefully this one won’t flood my house like the last one. Miami (6-4/3-3 ACC) rolls into town today. They’ve had a somewhat similar season to our own Wolfpack . […]
Pack Heads to the HVAC Dome to Face ‘Cuse
Wolfpack Football has had a tough go of it for the past four weeks. A beatdown at the hands of Louisville and a WTF home loss to BC, were bookended by close heartbreaking losses to Clemson and Florida State. Instead of being 6-3 right now (or even 7-2…up yours BC), they find themselves beaten and […]
Basketball Doth Approach
It’s getting closer. I’m honestly not sure what to expect this year. The talent is there, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all comes together. But two Pack players are getting some big time ink. One of whom hasn’t even suited up yet. Ranking the top 100 (and one) college basketball players […]
Here comes Dennis Smith Jr.
h/t for picture from NC State basketball Even though that this is a few days old, we wanted to make sure that everyone saw this really good profile of incoming freshman basketball point guard Dennis Smith Jr. Joe Giglio of the News and Observer. In the article, Smith says: “I want to come in and […]
Markell Johnson signs with State – Gott does it again
Today Mark Gottfried added another highly rated player to the 2016-17 roster by getting Markell Johnson to sign with the Wolfpack. Johnson, who recently reclassified from a 2017 recruit to a 2016 recruit, is a 4 star point guard out of Ohio. He chose the Wolfpack over Ohio State and Texas A&M. Johnson, a 6-foot-1 […]
