NC STATE BASKETBALL Omega Wolf (BackingthePack.com) ACC POY Green to Face Improving Wolfpack Defense The only times the Pack have struggled defensively of late are when they failed to end opponents’ possessions on the defensive glass. En route to 1.17 PPP Saturday, Florida State grabbed 48% of its misses. It certainly didn’t help the Pack’s […]

Battle of the States game day thread
There is a lot at stake today because if we win we get a bye in the ACC tournament but more importantly it would mar my game day thread record (yes it is all about me). I see us coming out focused and ready to play. I think/hope they are in “tournament mode” in which […]
Gameday Headlines (Pack at Noles)
Here we go folks, this one is for the coveted day off. Remember the Pack can finish as the #3 seed (NCSU Win & UNC Loss), the #4 seed (NCSU Win & UNC Win or NCSU Loss/UVA Loss), or the #5 seed (NCSU Loss & UVA Win). This one means a lot so there is […]
Has this season been a disappointment?
This basketball season has had a lot of peaks and valleys. We started out the year with a preseason top ten ranking, were predicted to win the ACC and Leslie was the leading candidate for ACC player of the year. All of this hype was generated by the Pack’s amazing Sweet Sixteen run along with […]
The REVENGE game thread
This is not going to be close. Not even remotely. Not even the refs can stop this beat down. I know, I know, the “don’t jinx us” crowd (cough BJD cough) is furious with me but I am that confident about this game. I have been saying we will finish 11-7 but I may be […]
BC 2/27 game thread
This will hopefully be a boring game. I will be a little late but will join the fun. So I cannot be blamed for anything bad 😉
Hole-mageddon Post-Game Semi-Rational Discussion
Yes, that sucked. We went into Chapel Hill, played poorly to start…then clawed our way back to a small lead with all the momentum in the world. Then we crapped the bed down the stretch on the way to a blowout loss. A B+ effort by the Pack wins that game easily…and we didn’t even […]
State UNC game thread
Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone […]
FSU game day thread
Looking to make it three in a row. We are playing FSU tonight at 7. The Pack is favored by 8. I think we finally have a good game and win by 12+. It appears Buckets is coming out of his slump so if we can just get Purvis back to playing well we could […]
Clemson game thread
Given BJD’s recent history with game threads I think it is a good idea to mix things up. I think we win this one by 13. The first half stays close but we pull away in the second. This starts our run to finish 11-7 in the conference.
