Quotes of Note
Sorenson: ‘NC State is Special Again’
The Wolfpack is as deep as a kiddy pool. Yet as tired and depleted as they are, they have a quality that wasn’t there three long days ago when the tournament began. Around them there is calm, a sense that when the game turns tense, they won’t. A scrub will hit a huge shot. The […]
Flashback – Is the Roanoke Times Right?
Let’s hope their article after the Pack’s 81-56 win in Raleigh proves to be accurate foreshadowing. Beyond the reporter’s glum thoughts, you have these choice player quotes: – A.D. Vassallo: “In sports there’s always that one team or that one player that always performs good against you, and I think N.C. State’s got the upper […]

More in the Media
For too long, it was just one line on a 16-game Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. For too long, N.C. State tried to minimize the importance of its annual showdowns with North Carolina, trying too hard to detach itself from the fervent emotion of a rivalry that stretches back 95 years. For too long, with UNC […]
Ben & Brandon Quotes
There were LOTS of great quotes that came from yesterday’s win, but a few stood out for special mention. Two players that I think are going to mean a lot to the future of the ‘program’ are Ben McCauley and Brandon Costner. I’m not limiting the scope of my comments that they will only ‘meaning […]
