NC State Basketball
Sunday Links
Well, that was fun. It was one of those perfect North Carolina November days, the atmosphere inside Carter-Finley was great, and that team we saw could’ve competed with anyone in the nation yesterday. But it was also mind-numbingly frustrating after last week’s trip to Chestnut Hill. Where on earth has yesterday’s team been? Yesterday’s win […]
Basketball attendance falls in 2009-2010, but Pack remain in top 25
Although NC State’s attendance numbers fell in 2009-2010, the Wolfpack was still able to remain in the top-25 nationally and pull in more than 13,000 fans per contest. Make no mistake, less fans in the seats (even if it’s less than 300 per contest) is a bad thing. But considering the struggles of the basketball […]
The State of State 2.0 – Men’s Basketball
With the season officially getting underway this week, I thought I would share some historical stats on our men’s basketball program. Similar entires for football, women’s basketball and championships can be found here and here and here. Men’s Basketball I. Records ACC Record: 397-401 (.497) ACC Record Pre-Fowler: 331-323 (.506) ACC Record Under Fowler: 66-78 […]
Katz: “NC State Working Back To Good Times”
Sometimes, it’s said, it is hard to see the forest for the trees. That might be the case for NC State’s fans where its hoops program is concerned, at least in the eyes of ESPN college hoops scribe Andy Katz. According to him, the Wolfpack is working their way back to respectability, albeit with a […]
Cheap Seats Basketball Introspective
After that debacle within Carter-Finley last weekend, the timing for this just seems eerily appropriate, especially since I’m not at all hopeful about the upcoming basketball season. My original intent was a more comprehensive basketball retrospective similar to the one I did for football back in the summer. But I decided that nothing good can […]
NCAA strikes a much needed blow against injustice, SEMOST style
“The NCAA hasn’t busted a single big-time men’s basketball program in nearly two years. It hasn’t nailed a major football program in nearly 15 months. It’s the longest stretch of compliance for the once iron-fisted organization in 46 years and the second longest ever according to an analysis of the NCAA’s major infractions database.” […]
From the Comments – An Outside View of NC State Hoops
Long-time commenter (and very gracious guest in Wolfpack Blogistan) nycfan gave a very detailed assessment of our basketball program under the “stewardship” of Fowler and Lowe. Many times, a knowledgeable outsider can give a more honest, objective assessment – since emotion doesn’t get in the way. I just wanted to highlight this comment for the […]
A View from the Cheap Seats
My extreme, near-sinful hatred for Carolina could only be eclipsed by the even more intense jubilation of beating those Bastards Born & Bred and then enjoying every fleeting moment of it until it is our time, as dictated by some malevolent, forbidding destiny, to lose to them once again. I can recall with striking accuracy […]
63 Greatest Games in NCAA Tournament History
Each March, the air becomes full of lists, “look backs” and NCAA nostalgia. Last year we highlighted that NC State dominates one writer’s All-Time Comeback List. This year, we add to the mix NC State’s presence in the 63 Greatest Tournament Games ever played with 3 of the top 34 games. One game that I […]
