Facing the Facts – BJD Writes Off 2007-08
I hate to say it, and it makes me mad as hell to do so. But 2007-08 must be written off as a “learning year” for Sidney Lowe. Despite being an ACC school with all the institutional infrastructure needed to win, NC State is employing yet another head coach who has to learn on the [...]

Some quick basketball comments of interest: * Due to the performance of some of our opponents, NC State has crept to #37 in the RPI having played the 27th toughest schedule in America. You can expect that SOS to only get more difficult at State still has four (of eight) games against teams that look [...]

Let the people rejoice – State beat the castrated turkeys once again, to get back to .500 in the ACC. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the second half of the conference schedule is even more difficult. NC State will likely only be favored in one game (home vs. FSU). But all [...]

Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Sidney Lowe continued his mastery of “Basketball Grobe” tonight as the NC State Wolfpack won for the third time in the last four games. The Wolfpack is now 15-7 with an ACC record that now stands at .500 at 4-4. NC State never trailed in route to our second consecutive win over a team ahead of [...]

There’s an early (7:00) tip tonight, as the Pack takes on the Castrated Turkeys on ESPNU. Before the season started, you wouldn’t have been surprised that one team enters the contest in sole possession of third place. But nobody would have predicted Virginia Tech to be that team. After losing their best big man and [...]

We already have post-game entry open open for comments about the game. The excellent video in this entry is from the N&O’s great coverage of the Wake-State game. Additionally, we’d like to offer a special thanks to the N&O for covering the end of the game so well as you will see in the video below. [...]

Video Highlights | Box Score | Recap| Photos| Take THAT ghost of Chris Paul and the decade where NC State couldn’t win a close game if our life depended on it! BEFORE the last play of the game, I had already written the following for the postgame entry - Player of the game – Ben McCauley. He did [...]

Halftime Update: Wake 31 State 24 * Simple reason why NC State is not winning this game – SHOOTING. It’s not just that State only hit 2 of 11 three pointers (both by Courtney Fells. It is that State missed/bricked multiple WIDE OPEN threes – at least three of which were from the top of [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008
And naturally, we end the game down twenty and in complete surrender mode on defense. Have some pride to wear the uniform, and at least hit somebody if you don’t want to get into defensive or rebounding position. But don’t stand there holding your junk while a guy drives for an uncontested layup. Not that I’m [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008
It’s a game no one expects the Pack to win, at Cameron Indoor Stadium against the No. 3 team in the nation, the Duke Green1 Devils. The facts of the matter are, however, that it’s a rivalry game and it’s the ACC, so all bets are off. To win, the Pack will need superb [...]

ESPN.com’s expanded ACC standings. I probably should have added a question mark to the title, because it’s a difficult task. One thing is abundantly clear – Duke and UNC are significantly better than everyone else. I expect them both to be no worse than #2 seeds in the NCAAT. Damn it. After that, it’s less clear. My [...]

Saturday, January 26, 2008
We closed the previous entry to open up a new one for the second half. NC State led 36-31 at halftime based solely on a 17-0 run to end the first half. At halftime I wrote, ‘How crazy is it to say that NC State looked HORRIBLE except for that 17-0 run.’ I know that it [...]

As you might have gleaned from my comments in the GT post-game thread, I don’t really have the stomach for it. We are sending the kids to grandma’s house in order to attend tonight’s Ween concert in Durham. Thus, I may not be awake that far in advance of tomorrow’s 1:30 tip-off. Have any insight on [...]

What is it with NC State vs Miami games? Two sports. Two overtimes. Two Wolfpack victories! Before NC State stepped on the court tonight the Wolfpack’s triumvirate of early season Big East victims were generating some major progress for our future NCAA Tournament resume as Villanova won at Syracuse, Seton Hall defeated Louisville and Cincinnati upset [...]

Saturday, January 19, 2008
It doesn’t get any more simple than tonight — NC State hosts Miami in an absolute MUST WIN early season Atlantic Coast Conference match-up. Period. The Wolfpack needs to win an ACC game. Now, tonight. The Pack, picked in the preseason to finish third in the ACC, was embarrassed at North Carolina last week and thumped [...]

Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Pack Pride’s morning webrun this morning contains that reads “Webrun: Pack Players have Quit” The highlighted quote of the entry originates from 99.9’s Dan Mason’s tell-it-like-it-is blog entry: I never thought I’d be writing this. I figured there was no way Sidney Lowe would allow his team to go to Clemson and put up a [...]

We will have more on the blog later today…but we wanted to link this video for everyone to see and realize (1) the value of having a sharp shooter in your program and (2) the importance for Courtney Fells (or Marques Johnson) to be able to use their athleticism and height on defense tonight. Clemson is [...]
