It was a big deal that the ACC Tournament was held in Florida this year. If you didn’t know, there are some distinct ways to tell. In May of 2006 we updated you on the sites of future Atlantic Coast Conference Tournaments in this entry. 2007 – Tampa, FL 2008 – Charlotte, NC 2009 – […]

Post Selection Sunday Thoughts
Here are some semi-random thoughts after Selection Sunday – Maybe Earl is right…karma is a bitch. The most undeserving team to receive an at-large bid last year (Air Force) turns out to be the highest ranked team to be left out this year. (Air Force’s at-large bid last year is possibly the worst decision ever […]
Some Interesting End of Season Numbers
During various bubble discussions, we talked about whether there was significance to being a 20-win team in a power conference. VaWolf posited that it was correlation, not causation – and the final tally this year proves him correct. Nine such teams are in the NIT: Michigan, FSU, WVU, Alabama, Oklahoma St., Kansas St., Clemson, Ole […]
‘Bruised & Battered’ Wolfpack to Play Tuesday
Excuse me I don’t sound gracious…but the National Invitation Tournament did NC State NO favors this year as the bruised and battered Wolfpack gets a sixth seed and is required to travel to Philadelphia to play a game in less than 48 hours (on Tuesday). That will be five games in six days. The winner […]

ACC Championship Game Entry (Halftime Update)
Sidney Lowe’s debut season as the Wolfpack has been a resounding success and has all of StateFansNation dreaming about the future. But, before we get to the future, let’s pray for a miracle today. A lot of the media and younger Wolfpackers keep referring to the 1983 run to the title. I guess that is […]
Sorenson: ‘NC State is Special Again’
The Wolfpack is as deep as a kiddy pool. Yet as tired and depleted as they are, they have a quality that wasn’t there three long days ago when the tournament began. Around them there is calm, a sense that when the game turns tense, they won’t. A scrub will hit a huge shot. The […]
ESPN’s Pat Forde on Lowe’s Miracle Run
If ever there was a “must read” article, this one is it. You can’t buy press this good. Something special is brewing in Raleigh, win or lose tomorrow afternoon. Sit back and feel the magic, and tell the kids your own stories about 1974, 1983, 1987, and every other moment of NC State’s proud basketball […]
The Dream is Alive!
What tired legs? The Pack only commits one turnover against the late Hokie press, and nails free throw after free throw (while VT barely cleared the 40% bar from the charity stripe). I have no idea how in the hell we could manage to derail the UNC freight train tomorrow…but there’s nobody I would rather […]
