NCS Basketball
Variations in ACC BB Schedules
As we all know, the ginormous conferences have led to a situation where teams are technically in the same conference, but hardly ever play each other. This is worse in football, where you only play teams in the other division about twice per decade (except for your designated rival). In football, the difficulty of your […]
Move ahead, put it in the past
As weird as it may sound, NC State’s loss improved the Wolfpack’s RPI to somewhere around the range of ~38 to 40 and keeps the strength of schedule amongst the top five in the country. The *good* news is that Thursday’s loss could very well serve to send NC State to a #10 seed in […]

Last Look at the Bubble
The goal of our last look at the Bubble is to outline the goals that the different teams should have for the ACCT…whether that goal is just making the NCAAT or to improve the seeding. I don’t expect there to be a lot of controversy, but there are still some interesting tidbits to discuss for […]
2015 ACC Tournament Preview
Firstly, a hearty congratulations to SFN favorite Beejay “King Hippo” Anya on being named the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year, and First Team all-defense. Not bad for a guy who doesn’t play 20 mpg, right? Quality, not quantity. And the jolly giant sure as hell changes the game when he enters. Secondly, kudos to […]
Game talk – State sends Syracuse home (again) [Updated for highlights]
NC State ended Syracuse’s ACC season in 2014 by defeating the Orange in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals in the Friday night session in Greensboro. So, it was fitting that the Wolfpack send the Orange home for the year with a loss again in 2015 as the Pack pulled away behind a 27-2 run and all […]
