2010-2011 Men’s Basketball Schedule
What more appropriate topic for the first day of College Football season than…BASKETBALL!? (Do you wonder why the Atlantic Coast Conference struggles to build a reputation in Football?) We shared a pretty good preview of NC State’s projected 2010-2011 Basketball Schedule in this link last week, but today the ACC offices have released the entire [...]

28. August 2010
NC State’s 2010-2011 Basketball Schedule is completed, but the ACC offices are expected to wait until early to mid September to formally annouce the entire schedule. That hasn’t stopped us from talking about pieces of the schedule as we have learned of it. For example, we’ve previously discussed the following: Wisconsin (click here) Syracuse (click [...]

23. August 2010
This was an interesting ride. It has been announced (click here) that former NC State Basketball commitment and Top 50 national recruit, Luke Cothron, has failed to academically qualify for the upcoming season. You probably remember that Cothron originally committed to NC State about a year ago and then de-committed during his senior year in [...]

9. August 2010
@PackMensBball just tweeted the following: “Pack will face Wisconsin in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday December 1st at 7:15pm on ESPN2″ We re-tweeted the news immediately and wanted to make sure that we explained that our Twitter Feed and our message boards are the best places to turn for ‘real time’ NC State (and [...]

9. August 2010
Maybe it’s unfair, but I have routinely compared Sidney Lowe’s performance with Tom O’Brien’s performance, at least within my circle of Wolfpack faithful. The debate can often become colorful and I usually, and admittedly, find myself on the outside looking in on the popular response. Now that we’re more than a few years in to [...]

29. July 2010
SFN: This entry is too good to get lost in the middle of a lot of the news that we’ve had breaking in recent days, so we are moving it back to the front of the blog to make sure that the community sees it. If your attitude going into this latest entry on financing [...]

13. July 2010
Now that June 30, 2010 has come and gone, North Carolina State has officially parted ways with its athletic director of the past 10 years, Lee Fowler. The past 10 years have been wrought with many more downs than ups, but we want to take some time to look back at the entire Lee Fowler [...]

7. July 2010
C.J. Leslie, Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown teamed up with CJ Williams in the N.C. ProAm last night in Durham and gave the Wolfpack fans in attendance a bit of a preview of what to expect in the coming season. While it might be a pick up game preview, it still counts for something. We [...]

2. July 2010
In the first game of the 2010 N.C. Pro-Am Thursday night Tracy Smith got to team up with incoming freshman CJ Leslie and two NC State recruits, Rodney Purvis and Joseph Uchebo. The four put on a show — Leslie and Smith both scored 20+ points — but fell to Team Hendrick of Durham in [...]

2. July 2010
Sidney Lowe must be talking to former NC State football coach Lou Holtz, a man who was infamous for effusively praising even the lightest of opponents as being world-beaters while talking about his own team as though they were elementary school scrubs picked last in PE for a game of kickball. For example, in the [...]

25. June 2010
This is great stuff. This is fantastic stuff. Hopefully because of my relationship with Debbie Yow over the last decade plus, I have a more detailed perspective than just about anybody in the media down here. I think it’s an absolutely, positively, overwelmingly great hire for NC State. You are talking about one of the [...]

15. June 2010
Just a few days after being dismissed from the team at Oak Ridge Military Academy, 2011 big man Joseph Uchebo has landed much closer to the NC State campus to finish out his high school career. Uchebo enrolled at Word of God Academy and will look to graduate in the spring of 2011. It is [...]

13. June 2010
Just got an email from a good friend sharing the insight that Johnny Thomas is staying local – much more local than Josh Davis – and could end up at Appalachian State or UNC-Wilmington. (Link to entry from earlier in the week) Good luck to Johnny wherever he ultimately chooses…but, boy do I ever wish [...]

10. June 2010
Pack Pride is reporting that Thomas will graduate and move on from the program. After graduating he could also transfer and play right away somewhere other than NC State. According to NC State head coach Sidney Lowe, redshirt junior Johnny Thomas is graduating this summer and could look to move on from NC State, possibly transferring [...]

9. June 2010
Financial statements of the nation’s 344-odd Division I NCAA teams are out and and NC State’s hoops program is among the nation’s best in terms of profit margin. Looking at the numbers above, you will see that UNC-CH generates almost twice as much revenue as NC State, but that it’s matching expenses are more than [...]

7. June 2010
With the confirmed assimilation of one of the best basketball recruiting classes in school history coming on the back of the announcement of Lee Fowler’s imminent departure, perhaps NC State is experiencing some of that “hope and change” that Barack Obama talked so much about in 2008? As you know, we don’t go too far [...]

27. May 2010
If you thought the out of conference schedule for NC State was going to be tough in 2010 (games against Wisconsin, Syracuse, Arizona and potentially Georgetown), take a look at the ACC schedule. N.C. State (8 to 10) Twice: UNC, Wake, Clem, Duke, FSU Home only: GT, Miami, VT Road only: BC, Md, UVa Joe [...]
