Some time ago I wrote a brief entry outlining a few factoids about NC State’s history in post-season, post-conference tournament play. When you look at the rich history and tradition NC State has, it becomes quickly apparent that a quick-and-dirty review of NC State’s tournament past really doesn’t do NC State’s basketball program justice. NC State […]

Historical Context: NC State Tournament Factoids
With today’s first NCAA tournament appearance in 5 years coming up at 12:40PM today, I wanted to take a quick look back on NC State’s appearances in the NCAA tournament through the years for some useless factoids. Since the 1950’s when the NCAA tournament expanded to 16 teams (it has been only 8 conference champions […]
To State, This ACCT Matters
