How long should a team give a coach to turn a program around? It’s an interesting question, and one that seems to be on the lips of many an NC State fan after the past couple of basketball seasons. Me, I am not saying one way or the other that State should “do something” about […]

Giglio Previews 2009-10 ACC (Updated 3/25)
On the heels of this fantastic and comprehensive entry, we get more great work looking to next season from J.P. Giglio at the N&O’s ACCNow. I wouldn’t even know how to begin breaking down the rosters, but he does a great job projecting early departures and new player rotations. Kudos to him for going on […]
CJ Leslie Officially Re-Opens Recruitment
As most regular readers know, SFN has hinted at this development since January, but now that Dave Telep is bringing it into the public domain (note – this is a premium article, so we won’t post any content), we can be more explicit. CJ Leslie has re-opened his commitment, and is no longer an NC […]
Revisiting Last February’s Analysis
We will come back to this once the 2008-09 season is completely over. But I think it’s a good time to look back at this entry from last February, after a particularly brutal loss to Boston College. Many of our current commenters posted thoughts on that thread. Now that a little over a year has […]
Maryland Game Thread/Semi-Live Blog
I enjoyed semi-live blogging the Wake game, so I’ll try to do the same tonight. I am very confident tonight, and expect a fairly comfortable (8-12 point) win. Of course, NC State is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Place your thoughts, reactions, and happy/angry utterances […]

NC State 82, #7 Wake Forest 76
#8 Wake Forest (18-4) 34 42 76 NCSU (13-9) 42 40 82 Boxscore Perhaps the best coverage is from long-time sportswriter A.J. Carr:Â “Wolfpack Knocks Off Deacons” (News and Observer) For a moment, let your imagination run rampant. Picture the No. 10 ranked team in the ACC beating the No. 7 ranked team in the […]
Want to See State-Wake Play Tonight? You Better Go To The RBC
While I am perfectly aware of the state of NC State basketball, I have to admit that I am quite surprised that a Big Four hoops matchup is not being televised in North Carolina. That’s right, no TV coverage for tonight’s Wake Forest – NC State game, unless you count sitting in front of your […]
Welcome to the Death Spiral, Sid!
I am prepared to make it official – Sidney Lowe has entered the Death Spiral. What did he learn from yesterday’s meltdown? “I thought Javi played well,†Lowe said after Gonzalez scored nine points with six assists in a 91-87 overtime loss at Virginia Tech. Lowe liked the way Gonzalez pushed the ball up the […]
ACC Coaches on the Hotseat? Debated (Updated 2:10pm)
One has to wonder what the brain trust at the News and Observer knows that we don’t: “With at least four ACC basketball coaches in some degree of trouble — Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton, Maryland’s Gary Williams, N.C. State’s Sidney Lowe and Virginia’s Dave Leaito” — Caulton Tudor, in “Finding The Next Coach” This list […]
