Comprehensive ACCT Thoughts
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 [...]

Sidney Lowe met with the media Friday morning to discuss Sunday’s regular season finale against Boston College and the ACC Tournament. He even chimed in on the ACC Player of the Year discussion. By Sunday you will know what seed you are in the ACC Tournament and what you have to do. Do you care [...]

16. February 2010
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 to be [...]

12. February 2010
Sidney Lowe met with the media this morning. Here’s some of his thoughts on where NC State sits right now along with thoughts on Saturday’s match up with Carolina. Check back later for video from today’s press conference. How are Richard Howell and Farnold Degand doing? Also, can you talk about the difference Howell and Degand [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

After beating NCCU Saturday, the Wolfpack go on the road Wednesday evening to Charlottesville, Va. to take on the surprising Cavaliers, who moved to 4-2 in the ACC by defeating UNC Sunday. Virginia dominated the Heels from start to finish in Chapel Hill Sunday evening, shooting almost 52 percent from the field while holding the [...]

NC State overcame a lackluster first half performance against North Carolina Central, scoring 50 second half points, in a 77-42 win at the RBC Center. Tracy Smith led the Wolfpack with 23 points and five rebounds on 9 of 11 shooting from the field. The Wolfpack shot 60 percent from the field for the game despite [...]

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln… In a game that was there for the taking, NC State couldn’t get it done tonight against the Heels, letting a five-point lead slip away during an eight-minute scoring drought in the second half. The Wolfpack missed 12 straight shots during Carolina’s run. On the night NC State shot 39 percent from [...]

We got nearly 500 comments on the NC State vs Duke open thread. I know we can top 500 tonight. Check Twitter for stuff during the game.

26. January 2010
The more I’ve thought about this game, the more I’ve started to think it’s a bit underwhelming. If you look at it from an outsiders’ perspective, it’s not even really that exciting. UNC limps in at 12-7 overall and 1-3 in the ACC, reeling from three straight losses in the last 10 days. NC State [...]

21. January 2010
NC State's win over Duke Wednesday night was, undoubtedly, huge. Huge for the 2009-2010 version of the Wolfpack, but also huge for the program as a whole. Here's some links from the web today to help recap the win. Enjoy these, because come Friday morning it's on to Maryland.

21. January 2010
As a 2004 NC State graduate, there wasn’t really much to write home about when it came to sports. A few years of Philip, a Gator Bowl win, and a few really disappointing ACC Tournament Championship games… I moved to the midwest after college and was in a small bar watching Julius Hodge take on [...]

31. December 2009
If you haven’t read it yet, “Daily Update” posted one of the best entries that we’ve had in a while with his GSK Update post a couple of days ago. A couple of follow-up items from that are worth sharing: (1) In the time since Daily Update shared “Rumors from the tournament suggested that his [Luke Cothron's] [...]

19. November 2009
In a recent radio show, Sidney Lowe used the plural word “commits” when mentioning players he couldn’t mention publicly. Some people thought it might have been a mistake and that there was only one NC State commitment he couldn’t mention – 2010 recruit Luke Cothron who didn’t sign a National Letter of Intent last [...]

12. November 2009
Lodged deep within the N&O’s write-up of the upcoming Wolfpack hoops season (all WTNY, all the time, just like the buffoonish duo of Fowler and Lowe want it) is this little gem from Fowler’s always jabbering mouth: Too many times, loyalty’s a one-way street. Fans want the coach to be loyal to them, but they’re not [...]

6. November 2009
The ‘09/’10 edition of the Wolfpack opened their hoops slate last night by pounding head coach Sidney Lowe’s alma mater into the Reynolds Coliseum floor, 84-42 in an exhibition game. While it would be somewhat foolish to take too much away from this game – St. Pauls is a D2 school and hardly resembles ACC [...]

21. August 2009
As I alluded in the comments section of this thread, Robbi Pickeral penned an interesting article last Sunday, noting that Sidney Lowe had named a new strength and conditioning coach. Lowe’s choice? Wright Wayne, Lowe’s coach in 1983, who had been reassigned to other programs within the athletic department for the last 12 [...]

20. June 2009
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 [...]
