Farnold Degand
Pack Pounds Blue Devils 88-74
NC State delivered 40 full minutes of basketball feeding off the energy of the rowdy RBC crowd and an elevated defensive intensity that included a rare full court press to keep seventh-ranked Duke at arms length and finish with a resounding 88-74 upset.

State comeback falls just short in 73-70 loss to Clemson
Watching the Pack come all the way back from a 21-point first half deficit to get within one point of the Tigers was a lot of fun and showed me a lot about the character of this year’s group, but it still stings to lose another close game, especially at home. Here’s the box score. The […]

We just don’t have the energy or desire to chronicle Saturday’s defeat, so we encourage you to look around our message boards for […]
Degand Emerging
The key to this season for NC State was getting effective play from the PG position. Overall, Farnold Degand, Javier Gonzalez, and Julius Mays have not performed at the level NC State needed to make the NCAA tournament. However, an NIT bid would be a solid step for Sidney Lowe’s third team considering the change […]

And so it begins…NC State’s starting point guard sidelined with knee injury
Another season, another injury to a key component of the Wolfpack’s program. I wish that I didn’t have to bump all of the great football-related entries that precede this…but, we can’t just leave this out there now that we have a little ‘official’ clarity. After one game of the season, Farnold Degand already has tendinitis […]
Basketball tips tonight! 3 Questions for the Wolfpack
