Quote of Note: Ned Barnett on Sendek

But what’s happening with State — and what lies ahead — isn’t about a roster. It’s about a team and its coach. Herb Sendek has shown himself a master of getting more from less by stressing defense and a ball-control offense. That approach worked so well last season that he was voted ACC coach of [...]

Sendek, Fowler issue statements of support for each other

The two men spoke highly of one another in their statements, which were released to the press mere minutes apart and apparently without knowledge of the other.

I Hate Wednesdays

I hope JB doesn’t mind if I post a separate rant. But after such a great football/basketball combo weekend, I guess things naturally had to get worse. Of course, it happened on a Wednesday. Wednesday has always been a bad luck day for me. Nothing seems to go right, a fact that I took special [...]

RPI Never “Meaningless”; State’s Win Fails to Move Needle

NC State’s win over #8 ranked Georgia Tech doesn’t seem to have mathematically done much for the Wolfpack’s quest to get back on the radar of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. Heading into Sunday’s agame, State’s RPI was a paltry #115 and Georgia Tech’s was in the Top 15. After the evening, State’s RPI improved [...]

Quote of Note: Andrew Brackman

In the January 14, 2005 edition of The Sporting News, “Scouts Views” commented: NC State’s Andrew Brackman is emerging as a standout freshman forward in the ACC. He’s grown at least 2 inches since this time last year and has added pounds. Given NC State’s structured system and the fact Brackman came from a regimented [...]

State has won nine in a row over Georgia Tech in Raleigh. Tech’s last win in Raleigh was on January 24, 1996 against Les Robinson’s last team.

Andrew Brackman continues his great play and the Wolfpack snaps a 4-game slide to improve to 11-5 overall and 1-2 in the ACC.

Quote of Note: Duke 86 State 74

Found a new Blog to add to the BBall Blogroll named ACCBasketBlog Included in ACCBasketBlog’s recap of Duke @ State is the following: Len Elmore with about 1:30 left in the game said “Winning is an attitude.” Too true. And NCSU doesn’t have it. Duke does. And it all comes from the coach–leadership and expectations. [...]

UNC Scandal

SFN to James Moeser: At Long Last, Have You No Decency, Sir?

by BJD95

I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]

Scandal Over, UNC Wants To Grow Athletics Revenue to $100 Million

by Alpha Wolf

You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]

UNC Administrator, to victim: “Rape is like football”

by StateFans

This is truly abhorrent. Many folks call The Carolina Way a myth — but it’s not. Believing a myth can be innocent, borne of ignorance. In fact, The Carolina Way is a giant, perpetuated lie that has bred a culture that believes no ethical or moral sacrifice is too great to ensure athletic superiority. The [...]
