The NCAA Tournament is now in full effect, so why not spend a moment focusing on NC State’s performance against NCAA Tournament teams? We’ve done a little research and couldn’t believe what we learned. Scratch that. We totally believed what we learned. What we learned was exactly the kind of perspective and statistic that we […]

ESPN’s Pat Forde on Lowe’s Miracle Run
If ever there was a “must read” article, this one is it. You can’t buy press this good. Something special is brewing in Raleigh, win or lose tomorrow afternoon. Sit back and feel the magic, and tell the kids your own stories about 1974, 1983, 1987, and every other moment of NC State’s proud basketball […]
The Dream is Alive!
What tired legs? The Pack only commits one turnover against the late Hokie press, and nails free throw after free throw (while VT barely cleared the 40% bar from the charity stripe). I have no idea how in the hell we could manage to derail the UNC freight train tomorrow…but there’s nobody I would rather […]
Gut Check – Previewing the ACCT
I am no great shakes as a statistical analyst – I leave that to the esteemed VaWolf. On the cusp of tourney play, I wanted to throw out my gut calls for discussion. 1) North Carolina Realistic Chance to Win? Absolutely. At this point, they have to be the odds-on favorite. They are clearly the […]

“Raleigh Time”
When I was at State in the late 1980s and early 1990s I had two fraternity brothers from West Jefferson, NC that became two of my closest friends in the world. (Even today these gentlemen and their families live just a couple of miles around the corner from my family). These two guys were notorious […]
Kay Yow Court
You’d have to have been hiding under a rock the last few days to have not been touched by Kay Yow’s return to the NC State bench and big wins, including Friday night’s shallacking of UNC-Chapel Hill on Senior night in Reynolds Coliseum. Check that. Not just Reynolds Coliseum…but at newly named ‘Kay Yow Court’ […]
