With the incredibly positive recruiting weekend that Dave Doeren produced — click here for more — a signature win over Notre Dame last night would’ve put the point on a momentous weekend. But, instead of being in a position to play for a solid NCAA Tournament seed, the Wolfpack now has significant pressure to deliver […]

Miami AD apologizes for fan pushing Cat Barber
Nice update here: What I don’t understand is how in the hell is that fan was allowed to stay in the arena and wasn’t immediately escorted out? Major security issue there. @JamesCurle @jwgiglio @LukeDeCock What if @Chris_Corchiani or Tom Gugliotta pushed a player from the opposing team? #Alcatraz […]
In the air tonight @ Miami #NCAAT
State has a big one tonight at Miami (8pm on WRAL in Raleigh)! NC State sits #38 in the RPI having played 6th toughest schedule in America.

Gottfried discusses V Foundation, Coach K history on Sportscenter
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.

Sunday was the second of six consecutive days with at least one ACC basketball game being played. So the RPI rankings discussed below were valid thru Saturday’s games.

UNC 81 NC State 79 — The Day After
The N&O’s headline read something like — ‘Close Call. Familiar Result.’ Can’t argue that. Slow Start Of their various articles, the N&O focused on how State’s slow start doomed the Pack. They’ve got that partly right. Unfortunately, a major part of the slow start can be attributed to the fact that Ralston Turner sat […]
N.C. State vs. the Cheats – 7pm
Ordinarily I attempt to construct a game thread entry with a brief and fairly objective look at State’s upcoming opponent … A simple frame of reference for those who may wish to invest some time into an upcoming game and/or invest some time here at the site during a game. Usually, I’ll utilize a photo […]
Previewing North Carolina
Wednesday has the potential to be a huge day for NC State Basketball. Two years ago, NC State defeated both Duke and North Carolina at home as The Pack is looking to repeat this. Hopefully State can pull out another huge win over another rival this time being The Tarheels. As I mentioned before, there […]
