Ol Roy. His ego has no limits. Your team has to fly back upset over losing in the Final Four, while you yuck it up in the Kansas section.<br> Check out the Inside Carolina Meltdown

“This is a nightmare for Roy Williams” — Billy Packer, 9:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 33 UNC 10 “This game…is OVER” — Billy Packer, 7:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 38 UNC 12 It would take a blind person less than a nanosecond to recognize the enormous difference [...]

Saturday, April 5, 2008
This is the new reality for Davidson College in the post-tournament world: Orders for commemorative T-shirts from China, Australia and Italy. A 262 percent increase in Web site traffic. Worries there won’t be enough freshman housing next year Congratulations to the entire Davidson College community. This article provides detail on some of the impacts of Davidson’s NCAA Tournament success. If [...]

It is Rick Barnes vs John Calipari. A match-up of two premier coaches that NC State could have hired multiple times since 1995. A match-up designed to highligh Lee Fowler’s incompetence as the two primary coaches on which Fowler should have been able close the deal two years ago match-up for the right to head [...]

Saturday, March 29, 2008
……crunch….. Carolina’s third ranked baseball team beat the Wolfpack 5-2 yesterday (I thought we had some new authors who were excited about covering baseball on SFN? hello? anyone out there?). The Tar heels are 21-4 overall and 8-2 in the ACC. After a one-hit loss to Marshall, the Wolfpack are tracking just perfectly to an average [...]

=======> Congratulations to Sean Miller and Xavier! In just 4 years he has already taken Xavier to a place in the NCAA Tournament where his former boss at NC State couldn’t achieve in a decade. It’s kind of hard to blame the strength of Duke and Carolina for our failure to succeed in anything outside [...]

Thursday, March 27, 2008
UNC is all alone carrying the banner of evil in the big dance. Standing in their way is perhaps their worst matchup – the grinding, defensive-minded Washington State Cougars. In a way, we’re all CougFans tonight, but no way do we adopt after that wicked mojo we put on Clemson. I remember a bad [...]

Sunday, March 23, 2008
There have been some interesting comments made about the Bubble this year that need to be saved for future reference. Plus Alpha/RAWFS has fixed it so I can use tables again….so here goes a little supplemental information about this year’s marginal selections/snubs: Let’s start with some tables that go pretty well with a commentary from last [...]

Saturday, March 22, 2008
Duke Basketball Report had to shut down their message board after today’s loss against West Virginia. I am not sure if you guys ever had the misfortune of reading “Carolina Blue” back in the 80’s and 90’s, but DBR’s propaganda would make John Kilgo blush. We can’t wait read their post game recap from the [...]

Saturday, March 22, 2008
Belmont almost took Duke out Thursday night, and Huggy Bear and crew finished the job today. UConn and asshole-in-chief Jim Calhoun were bounced yesterday. UNC is the last team left to carry the banner of evil in the big dance. Still bummed about our Tigers, but it could be worse.

So far today, the Tampa pod has seen upset wins by Western Kentucky (best game of the tourney so far), San Diego (guttiest performance of the tourney so far, winning after 2 best players fouled out in OT), and Siena (surprising rout of Vandy). We’ll see if the court has enough mojo to lift [...]

Friday, March 21, 2008
* Friday’s Games * The over-rated Pac-10 conference lost two teams on the first day of the NCAA Tournament when Arizona and USC lost to the Big East and the Big 12, respectfully. Poor Doug Gottlieb probably didn’t get any sleep last night in between his sobs. * Duke barely escapes Belmont. * I expect Miami to [...]

Thursday, March 20, 2008
I’m just about ready to head home and watch the action. Georgia/Xavier could be interesting, and Michigan State/Temple could be a combined 90-point effort. Purdue/Baylor is an interesting 2:55 matchup. Friday, of course, is our big day where “ORANGEfansNation” will be in full effect. Go Vols! Go Longhorns!… I will be live blogging [...]

Sunday, March 16, 2008
Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. [...]

Monday, February 25, 2008
We’ve seen some surprises (both good and bad) and a lot of movement since our last look around the ACC. We’ve also found the bubble once again…though I’m sure the Twerps aren’t real happy about that. So, let’s start with the conference as a whole and look at the big movers since our last look [...]

Monday, February 18, 2008
We set the stage in this entry last week that unless someone started claiming some scalps that the ACC would only have four participants in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Wake Forest’s big win yesterday over the Duke Blue Devils is exactly the kind of statement and scalp that the Demon Deacons needed to propel themselves into [...]

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 [...]

Sunday, January 27, 2008
Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes beat Clemson, 75-72, today in a key ACC match-up that may ultimately serve to support NC State’s slim chances to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the 2007-2008 college basketball regular season comes to a close. I definitely understand that Clemson will have a stronger mathematical impact on NC State’s RPI than [...]
