State played its way back onto the bubble with a big 74-65 must-win at 9th-ranked Louisville today. Barber led all scorers with 21, Lacey added 14 and Anya had three blocks. This was the type of game State had struggled to finish against Notre Dame and Virginia. State has a week to prepare for Virginia […]

Bare-Bones Pack/Ville Yum! Center Game Thread
Comrade 76 and Lenin Cat are out serving the proletariat, so it’s up to me to pseudo-preview today’s beating. The Cards are somewhat challenged offensively, at least based on what I saw last weekend in Hooville (a game that also lacked the injured Justin Anderson, for the most part). So it surprised me to see […]

ACC Weekly Review
I think we need to start an on-line petition to turn Monday back into “Big Monday” and move the mid-week ACC games back to the Tue through Thurs spot. All of these Monday games play heck with the timeliness of my weekly reviews. Once again the RPI and Dance Card info covers through Sunday’s games […]
Another Basketball Mid-Season Look – Wins vs Losses

ACC admits to officiating mistake during NCSU vs. WFU game
Certainly can’t blame every loss the on the refs, but at least they owned up to a mistake. They have managed to keep it pretty fair now that King Karl is out of the picture. The ACC acknowledged that the game officials made a mistake toward the end of Wake Forest’s 88-84 win over N.C. State on Tuesday […]
The rest of this season – what to expect?
Within the comments section of VaWolf82’s fantastic ACC Mid-Season Review, there was a post that prompted me to reflect on the Wolfpack’s current basketball season. In my opinion, the post – by 13OT – really cut to the heart of why we’ve seen what we’ve seen this season – the good and the bad. A […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
Originally published on Tuesday of this week: This past weekend had six games on Sat, one on Sun, and then another one on Monday night…Two overtime games, multiple close games, and only two with the final differential greater than six points. Throw in the fact that State won one of the OT games and UNC […]
