I hope everybody can remember what happened the last time I started a thread like this. Well, I have the same vaguely positive feeling today. UPDATE: I feel much less optimistic after hearing (from a trusted source) that Atsur has re-injured his hamstring in practice and is out for tonight (and maybe more). Shit. Oh […]

BC Dominates Wolfpack (Updated)
The following was posted at halftime of Saturday’s game: Halftime: Miserable, State down 19 It is halftime of the Wolfpack’s ACC home opener vs Boston College and State trails 37-18. MISERABLE. State’s year-to-date formula of playing weak defense and staying in games with offense has failed as the Pack has been unable to shoot well […]
UNC-G Tonight – Last Chance for “Bad Loss”
NC State’s 4th straight game on ESPN-Unavailable could mark an impressive milestone. If the Wolfpack wins tonight (the Spartans are 6-6 and rated in the 180s according to Sagarin), it will have navigated the 2006-07 basketball schedule without a single embarrasing loss, at least based on the caliber of opponent. Reviewing the Pack’s current non-conference […]
Will the Sea Birds at hand be better after two weeks in the bush?
UNCW’s first year coach Benny Moss has had two weeks between his team’s last game and this afternoon’s tilt with Sidney Lowe and the Wolfpack. In that time he has studied with them, rested them up, and dealt with the season ending announcement of stand out T.J. Carter following preseason surgery and a lengthy recovery […]
NC State 64, ECU 57 (whew) [Updated 11pm]
Here’s the recap. The Pack dodged a very embarrassing bullet (unlike BC, who fell to Duquesne). Ferguson missed the game with the flu, depriving us yet again of witnessing a robust 7-man rotation. Please discuss below, especially if you were there tonight. The following are some quick bytes from Jeff: * Playing ECU in basketball […]
32 Turnovers Doom Pack in Cincy
Cincinnati 80, NC State 71. Here’s the recap – warning – not for the faint of heart or young children. I would call it ugly/brutal, but that would be too kind. This was, by far, the worst effort we have seen from NC State in the Sidney Lowe era. Aside from the continued offensive excellence […]
Cincy on Saturday
After starting strong, the NC State Basketball team has not played particularly well in their last two tests against ‘named’ opponents – West Virginia and Alabama. Therefore, it would be particularly nice for the Pack to step up a little during their visit to Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon. It won’t get any easier as Engin […]
Fells Dunk vs Bama
Alabama Post-Game (Five Good Minutes)
For 35 minutes or so, NC State’s effort against the Crimson Tide bordered on embarrassing. The energy level was sorely lacking, and Alabama was up by as many as 23 (or was it 24?). I was just ready for the game to be over so I could get home. Then, the Wolfpack kicked it into […]
Coach Lowe Receiving Excellent Grades
With Alabama coming to town tonight amidst rising hopes for Wolfpack hoops, The Fayetteville Observer ran a piece that offered mid-term grades for Head Coach Sidney Lowe. The results were outstanding. Link RECRUITING: A STRATEGIZING: B MOTIVATING: B+ INTANGIBLES: A- “The way I recruit is all about people skills,†Lowe said. “Certainly your university can […]
