In the past ten days the college basketball Gods have been on NC State’s side. Although State fans at times have had their fair share of unfortunate luck in the past with numerous transfers plus players entering the draft during the Mark Gottfried era, Coach Gottfried and the staff have been on a roll of […]
Things suddenly get exciting around the NC State Basketball program! The 2016 class is as good of a class as I've evaluated & Omer Yurtseven would be top 10 if he was in the US. Big time post prospect. — Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) May 16, 2016 After months of bad news and head-scratching changes and […]
h/t collegechalktalk.prestosports.com Today Mark Gottfried officially introduced Butch Pierre as his new assistant coach. Pierre previously was on Travis Ford’s staff at Oklahoma State. “I’ve known Butch for a long time and he’s regarded as one of college basketball’s premier recruiters, but he is also a great teacher of the game who has spent a […]

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.

In spite of two straight setbacks to begin ACC play, Mark Gottfried’s first 0-2 league start as head coach at […]
Hard to argue with the merit of this as NC State’s Basketball program has stabilized at more than acceptable level since Coach “Got” to Raleigh.

As you happily recall, NC State, as an 8 seed, beat top-seeded Villanova 71-68 in the round of 32 this past March. As the game finished, there was an image that went viral. A member of the Villanova Marching Band, Roxanne Chalifoux, was spotted by TV cameras crying while still playing her fight song on […]
NC State basketball picked up a quality player to fill its gap in the backcourt this afternoon: Rowan has been described in various recruiting write-ups as a ‘sharp-shooter’ or a ‘scoring machine.’ Originally classed as a 2016 prospect, Rowan is already a high school graduate. In June, he de-committed from Pitt and said that he was considering […]
