It’s time for our last look at RPI Rankings as we assess where the ACC teams fit with respect to the Bubble. Usually, we discuss what various teams need to do in order to clear the bubble and make the NCAAT. This year is dramatically different in that seven teams are rated by nearly everyone […]

23 Years Ago Tonight
It’s the anniversary of Jimmy V’s famous ESPY speech. Will never forget watching it live before going out and then sitting in Spike’s when the late night reply was aired. After all of that drinking the tears were FLOWING from every person in the place. Twenty-three years ago tonight, Jim Valvano gave us a message […]
Congratulations to Beejay got the block Anya
Beejay Anya has a had a lot of ups and downs over his years at NC State, and I’m not only talking about his weight. It’s no secret that the Anya and the Pack have struggled throughout this season, but there still have been some highlights this year, especially for number 21, and some congratulations […]
Pack pulls off a heartstopper
On the same day that NC State’s Maverick Rowan earned recognition as a member of the ACC’s All-Academic team, the freshman earned an even bigger spot in the hearts of Wolfpackers when he delivered the game winning lay up with 1.1 seconds remaining on Senior Night. Congratulations @maverickrowan! We couldn't be more excited about the […]
One More Week
Since the ACC’s only Thursday night game is going as expected, it seems safe enough to use Thursday morning’s RPI data for our weekly update: It’s interesting to note that UNC has the fewest Top-50 wins among those teams rated as IN. On Monday morning, I noticed that GT had moved past Clemson on the […]
A Victory Over the Tarheels Would Salvage an Average Season
It’s that time of the season again; time for NC State to face off against our rival Tarheels at 8pm in PNC. Unfortunately the Tarheels have been doing well this season with a 11-3 conference record, while NC State has been extremely up and down with an average 14-13 overall record and 4-10 CC record. Although NC […]
Pack Basketball Welcomes Tiggers to Town
Pack is desperately(?) looking to start a positive trend as they push toward the end of the ’15-’16. Clemson is surprisingly(?) within striking distance of an ACCT #1 seed. Who wants it more? We’ll find out. Talk about it…. –
Basketball Weekly Roundup
I enjoy doing these weekly updates on ACC basketball. (I guess that’s a good thing because the pay certainly sucks.) But I would hate to do a bracket for the entire NCAAT on a weekly or more frequent basis. The danger in trying to do too much too frequently was nicely illustrated before the Duke/UNC […]
Wolfpack Basketball at UVa
7pm, ESPN. Can Friends O’ the Cat pick up enough slack to escape Charlottesville with an icy upset? Talk about it…. –
