“We can be good, we just need to stop getting hurt,” said assistant coach Monte Towe, a former playmaker for the school. If the Wolfpack had lost Iowa State transfer guard Farnold Degand, then there would be some cause for alarm. Degand is going to be the starting point guard. He will be the most […]
Sidney Lowe
DBR Previews the Pack
More good news for basketball! And what do you know, they have very good things to say: What State accomplished, in the upsets of UNC and Virginia Tech in the regular season, followed by the magical March ride, was to reconnect with State’s tremendous tradition. From Everett Case to Norm Sloan to Jim Valvano, State […]
Fox Sports Article – Degand, Costner Tidbits
Here is the full article (Hat Tip to Pack Pride message boards). There’s a brief tidbit on Farnold Degand’s progress (still my bet to be the starter), but the most interesting part is Lowe’s acknowledgement that Costner could get minutes at the 3: Lowe also mentioned that Costner could see some time at small forward […]
Goodman: ‘The Lowe Down’
Fox Sports’ Jeff Goodman blogged a quick piece on the 2007-2008 version of NC State Basketball. (Link) It’s no secret that the key for Sidney Lowe and the N.C. State Wolfpack next year will be point guard play. The title of the blog entry definitely does not fit the meat of the commentary since Sidney […]
Lee Fowler Can’t Spell Sidney Lowe’s Name
The latest “PackPlus” newsletter can be found by clicking here. “PackPlus” is an internal newsletter done by the NC State Athletics administration for the athletics and academics community on campus. Wolfpack Club Reps used to receive them in the mail (and I suspect that they still do). “Coach Fowler” usually writes a propaganda piece extolling […]
Flashback Friday: ‘Sidney Lowe Should Be Sendek’s Choice’
A very loyal reader sent us a note to remind us of this old entry that we had penned on May 4th, 2005. At that point in time, Larry Hunter had just left Herb Sendek’s staff and fans were discussing alternatives for a potential replacement. In the entry, we propose one name to fill the […]
Comparisons to Wolfpack Past
Fresh off Sidney Lowe’s first Raleigh Caravan, our blogging minds have turned back to basketball – particularly, Wolfpack retro. As a fun off-season exercise, a few of us brainstormed about rough comparisons of the 2007-08 roster to Wolfpackers of the past. Please share your own comps and thoughts in the comments section below. Our memories […]
Fox Sports – NC State Ranked 25th for 2007-08 Season
Here’s some nice press for Lowe and company: 25. NC State Sidney Lowe’s team loses senior point guard Engin Atsur, but look for Iowa State transfer Farnold Degand to step in and provide help running the team. Degand will have plenty of weapons as the Wolfpack return their other four starters — Brandon Costner, Gavin […]
Dave Glenn Pencils Pack in at the 4 Slot
I started to feel like my cautious optimism is at least warranted, when I read that Dave Glenn is drinking Sid’s Kool Aid: If Atsur had another year, this team would have had an incredibly high ceiling. As it is, the key factor moving forward for the Wolfpack will be the development of a reliable […]
AP: Lowe thanks Wolfpack officals, fans for support
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State basketball coach Sidney Lowe thanked Wolfpack officials and fans for their understanding Wednesday after his son was charged with crimes ranging from armed robbery to drug possession. “This is a difficult time for my son, myself and my family,” Lowe said in a statement issued by the school. “We […]
