O’Brien v. Lowe
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

According to a poster on the Pack Pride message boards, Sidney Lowe announced at the Asheville WPC Caravan a two game series with Syracuse starting with a trip to the Carrier Dome next season.

Now that a few days have passed, and the initial euphoria is starting to wear off – let’s put everything into perspective. Chancellor Randy Woodson is off to a great start. And by removing a clear, absolute impediment to athletic success (Lee Fowler), he is giving us a fantastic opportunity to move forward. But we [...]

Want proof that C.J. Leslie’s commitment is a huge deal to NC State and even to the entire ACC? Just notice how much the discussion of his decision continued today after the news broke late in the day Wednesday. Even with Tracy Smith’s decision to put his name into the draft (he’ll be back by [...]

29. April 2010
There’s an old Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” For NC State’s coaches, these times are indeed interesting, and those coaches are not just the ones who lead the basketball program. Yesterday’s word of heralded recruit C.J. Leslie’s re-commitment to play hoops for NC State and head coach Sidney Lowe will have an [...]

15. April 2010
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 [...]

14. March 2010
I decided to hold my thoughts on State’s ACC tourney performance until it was all over (and since I had stuff going on last night, I waited until today). So here goes: 1) State’s half-court defense against Clemson and Florida State was as good as I’ve seen us play in many, many years. Even against [...]

Let’s try this again. There is a healthy amount of discussion on the forums about this already. This letter originally showed up on PackPride a couple days ago. “To all my Wolfpack fansI want to say thank you for all the support and faith that ya’ll have in Lorenzo and I. We are very excited [...]

12. February 2010
As we celebrate 100 years of NC State basketball tradition, it can be interesting to take a look back at our heritage and make comparisons with the current program. Over the last century, there have been 18 head basketball coaches, 13 of which coached in either the Southern Conference or the ACC. Currently Sidney Lowe [...]

3. February 2010
If NC State fans thought the 27-point first half effort against NCCU Saturday was cringe worthy, hopefully they didn’t watch the second half of tonight’s game against Virginia. NC State could do little against Virginia’s impressive defense, going scoreless for more than seven minutes in the decisive second half in its sixth ACC loss of [...]
