The NC State Wolfpack has definitely experienced a (not unexpectedly) tough basketball season this year. The pill that is hardest to swallow, however, has been Engin Atsur’s injury. To this point of the season, NC State has compiled a record that is almost exactly what many fans expected. But, that expectation included Atsur’s presence on […]

Lowe: Duke was Aggressive
Sidney Lowe and Monte Towe did not like the officiating on Saturday. It was obvious throughout the afternoon by their reactions to things on the bench. Of course, officiating had nothing to do with Saturday’s result…but, who says that it won’t be important in the future? In short, I liked what I saw from the […]
Three Home ACC Games…
…three complete and unequivocal ass kickings. Today’s was probably the worst, because of the listlessness I saw at times. Also, our guys need to learn that you can play hard on D and still play smart. We seem to have two (equally lousy) settings – 1) Don’t even put your hands up; and 2) Bite […]
Duke Game Entry
I’ll be traveling for the Duke game, so I encourage any of the authors who are around on Saturday to add previews and reviews of Saturday’s game. However, before we get going we have to highlight Sidney Lowe‘s perfect comments today from the N&O: RALEIGH — It’s probably safe to say you’ll never hear N.C. […]
Checking in on the RPI, ACC, and Pac 10
A quick peak at what is going on in the ACC and partiuclarly a nice piece on the conference and the RPI. The Atlantic Coast Conference currently has EIGHT TEAMS (66% of the conference) ranked amongst the nation’s Top 38 in the RPI. Interestingly, the league’s two hottest teams are currently the ACC’s two lowest […]
Fells & Costner’s Posterizing Dunks
Don’t ignore the hard work of Ben McCauley. (Additionally, Big Ben has had some pretty awesome slams this season that would be nice to be on YouTube as well.) But, these two posterizations deserve their own entry here. Courtney has already had his own earlier in the year on the heels of this entry of […]
Ben McCauley Appreciation Thread
The blog was pretty full late last week, and we didn’t get a chance to highlight this excellent article on Big Ben from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Read it and get chills at the confirmation of the rumors we heard throughout the spring – McCauley was very close to transferring, which would have made an 0-16 […]
NC State 88 Wake Forest 74 (Updated 11:30am Sunday)
Joel Coliseum was half empty Saturday afternoon when the chant came echoing out of the upper deck. At the free throw line with 1:46 to play, Wake Forest freshman L.D. Williams had to double-take to make sure he was still playing in the Demon Deacons’ home arena. “For as long as I’ve been a basketball […]
Previewing State @ Wake (Updated 10am Sat)
The Pack travels to Wake Forest tomorrow in a match-up of two extremely young squads who will battle to stay out of the ACC cellar all season. The game is at noon and will be televised on your local RLF (Raycom/Lincoln Financial affiliate). I truly believe that State CAN win at Wake Forest tomorrow. If […]
ANOTHER Team Has Season Best 3 Point Shooting vs Pack
Clemson 87 NC State 76 Some quick bytes on the game…although they are not very different from any other loss this season: * It is a broken record. Another basketball game…ANOTHER team who ‘found a way’ to shoot LIGHTS OUT from three point territory against the Wolfpack. Clemson ultimately shot 10-19 for 52% from behind […]
