Most of the time this would be a hard question: Where were you 15 years ago tonight? But for myself and 19,000+ other State fans, that’s an easy question to answer. We were at the very first NC State basketball game at the Raleigh Entertainment Sports Arena/RBC Center/PNC Arena. Giveaway poster from opening night: And […]

Sendek: ASU extends contract, a walk down memory lane
Since most SFN readers have a little more experience and ‘gray hair’ than the readers at other blogs, I thought most of you might ‘enjoy’ a quick stroll down memory lane!! I can’t believe that it has been EIGHT years since HWSNBN flew the RBC for other pastures. In case you missed it, after advancing […]
Sendek: “I am not in play for Wake Forest”
In a statement that will surely relieve Demon Deacon fans, former NC State head coach Herb Sendek said in an interview on an Arizona sports-radio show that he’s staying put in Tempe: It looks like you can put the speculation to bed. A report came out Monday linking Arizona State basketball coach Herb Sendek to […]
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 […]

Seth Davis & SFN address NC State fans
Dear NC State fans, Don’t you feel smarter and significantly more special being condescended to by a Duke graduate of the ilk of Seth Davis? Now that you’ve seen the video once…go back and watch it again with some cynicism and a more discerning eye. Is it me, or does Seth’s comments of our history […]
Say it isn’t so…Sendek on the hot seat?
I couldn’t believe my eyes when someone posted this link on our message boards, but apparently someone in the media is actually following Herb Sendek’s results at Arizona St. With the constant shots taken at NC State by our broadcast partners at ESPN and Raycom(specifically Mike Patrick, Mike Gminski, Tim Brando, and Len Elmore), then […]
NC State vs NCAA Tournament teams
Now that the season is over, and Duke has won the national championship for 2010, we can fully take stock of the Wolfpack basketball team and see how well they performed against NCAA Tournament teams. As many of us know, this year’s team was 7-7 against NCAA Tournament teams. How does that compare to past […]
‘Ballin is a Habit’ needs to make ‘Accuracy a Habit’
Link to Ballin is a Habit (before they go in and fix a crucial mistake that completely changes the premise of their lead-in). Dear random blogger, fan, &/or media member — How about doing yourself and your credibility a service and have some clue of reality and fact before deciding to implicitly or explicitly draw […]
Fowler, Sendek, Amato and the GSR (Updated @ 1:15pm)
NC State is currently tied for the worst record in the Atlantic Coast Conference football season as the program heads towards its longest consecutive streak of non-winning seasons since the 1950s. The Wolfpack has been picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams from almost every imaginable source for the upcoming basketball season continuing a […]
