For those of you who may have missed it this morning — Coach Gott was on Sportscenter this morning reflecting on last week’s stunning win over Duke, and his history with Coach K. The Wolfpack’s young team managed to stall out Coach K’s 1000th win (he currently sits at 998). So far, Gottfried has coached 18 […]

NC State Wolfpack Athletics: 2014 in Review
With a new year comes the New Year’s Day bowl games. Most specifically the nation was intrigued in watching Oregon thrash national champion Florida State and then Alabama getting upset by Ohio State. Now the day after, it is time to look back at the past year in Wolfpack Athletics. So much happened over the […]
As the calendar turns, so does the Pack
Earlier this week I asked the question What’s the problem with Pack basketball? and we discovered the difference between the wins and losses wasn’t as simple of hey we are just playing worse. What was revealed was in the losses while on offense the Pack was still shooting the ball the same and the same […]
Mark Gottfried having a great day – commitment to his players

T.J. Warren: Hello World
Apparently, a number of pundits and a few scouts had missed T.J. Warren’s games the two years in Raleigh.

What does it take to reach the Final Four? (Part I)
Thanks to a sports injury I was laid up in bed with nothing to do for the better part of a week. During that time I had some time to watch basketball, both good and bad, and reflect on the state of the Wolfpack basketball program. Since the Pack’s 2014 Epic Fail in the round […]
2014-15 Post-WBS Roster Thoughts and Bold Predictions
As you all know by now, the annual transfer season has started. I hoped to not lose a PG, but if we lost someone…I expected PG is where it would happen. Our fondest best wishes to the Wee Baby Seamus, and I hope to see him lead a nice Cinderella run in the 2016 or […]
