I guess it is just a day for videos. We opened an entry on the message boards last night after Carolina received multiple gifts from the three blind officials on the floor of Madison Square Garden to allow them to advance to the NIT Championship. I particularly liked Dr. BadgerPack’s comments: So the NCAA should […]

I’m confused…who is UAB going to play in the next round of the NIT?
Fantastic video that we wanted to highlight for your enjoyment. Hat tip to ncsu1 on our message boards for bringing it to our attention. Commentators Joe Dean, Jr. and Dave Armstrong couldn’t mention the North Carolina Tar Heels enough during the NIT Round 2 broadcast of NC State and UAB. Now, I realize the game […]
NC State closes season with loss to UAB
An unfortunate end to what had become an exciting little run for the basketball team. NC State never really came to play against UAB Saturday, falling behind by 20 early and never getting close for the rest of the game. In his final game with the Wolfpack senior Dennis Horner scored 23 and pulled down […]
Saturday’s Basketball Open Entry
How will Carolina’s small hotel rooms impact the Tarheels’ quest to advance to the Quarterfinals of the NIT? Will a few days of well-deserved rest help boost the Wolfpack? Can Wake Forest pull a big upset and upset the ‘almost Wolfpacker’ crew of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and John Calipari? Talk about everything you want […]
Friday Fowler Fodder
It is Friday, March 19th…and, even though we have only mentioned this date once on the blog (click here for the detailed background that you will need), there are a lot of Wolfpack fans buzzing around with heightened anticipation today. Take my advice…relax…enjoy the fact that Sidney Lowe’s Wolfpack men are still playing basketball. To […]
State @ UAB gametime set
When checking the NIT’s website earlier today, it appeared the only option for NC State’s 2nd round NIT game against Alabama Birmingham on Saturday would be the 5pm time slot to be televised on ESPNU. Tonight we get the confirmation that is indeed the case. We’ll have more in the coming days. In the meantime, […]
NC State 58, South Florida 57
Cardiac Pack indeed. No. 6 seed NC State used solid defense and a late-game pass and layup from Scott Wood to Richard Howell to defeat No. 3 seed South Florida in Orlando. The “upset” win sets up a second round trip to No. 2 seed UAB, a team many believed to be on the NCAA Tournament […]
NC State advances to NIT
In what is a logical progression on the road to next year’s NCAA Tournament, the NC State Wolfpack hold a 6th seed will play at 3rd seeded South Florida at 8pm Tuesday night on ESPNU. Link to TampaOnline article: The Bulls (20-12) will seek their first postseason win in 15 years against the Wolfpack (19-15), […]
Sunday College Basketball Stuff
Thought we would open this entry for folks to interact if you weren’t interesting in some of the topics being discussed on our message boards. Yesterday was a tough for one for WolfpackNation. If you were looking to cut through the clutter of the 300+ comments in our game entry, then I think you will […]
CHN: NC State strongly in NIT
I genuinely believe that projecting the NIT field is much more difficult than projecting the NCAA Tournament field because of a lack of visibility of criteria and fans’ historical lack of familiarity of the process – that has changed multiple times in recent years. The website, NIT-ology, has become a central spot to visit for […]
