Don’t Get Too Down on the Pack Because You Were Too High on the Pack
Yes, I know. Very clunky and convoluted title. Couldn’t make it any prettier. Simply put, State got its ass kicked tonight. Why? They played a consensus pre-season Top Five team. On the road. Playing their very best (especially on defense and the glass). It happens. Prior to tonight, NC State largely took care of business, [...]

Pack/Canes Game Thread
As was the Wake contest last weekend, this will be a “treadmill game” for me. I will join you in the comments for the second half, but hopefully my first half running will provide similar good luck.
