====> Please no Lorenzo Brown comments in this entry. Once we get over our devastation we will post its own entry. ====> Stud outside linebacker, Kendall Moore, of Southeast Raleigh choose Notre Dame over NC State this weekend. (Link to the story) This one hurts, as Moore would have been a fantastic complement [...]
BC (20-10) 34 35 69 NCSU (16-12) 43 31 74 Playing his last regular season home game (don’t expect a home game in the NIT, either), Big Ben walks off the court a winner – with his rebound and free throws sealing the deal. His final numbers? 20 points and 6 rebounds, with each rebound [...]
WOW! I can’t believe the time is already here for exhibition basketball. Section Six actually has a preview of what appears to be a pretty bad Fort Valley State team with whom we will do battle tonight in Reynolds Coliseum. NC State opens its 2009 season with an exhibition game against Div-II Fort Valley State [...]
With so many dark clouds looming on the football front, it would be nice to have a good basketball season to look forward to. Sadly, that’s not the case for us long-suffering Wolfpackers. But we can look forward anyway, as Ken Tysiac does this morning: Courtney Fells, the easygoing senior who recently moved from shooting [...]
Ben McCauley reinforces much of what SFN has said about last season, in a surprisingly candid interview with GoPack.com. There are several notable passages, but we’ll start with: I have been here in Raleigh all summer, getting my body right. I have lost 10 to 12 pounds. Last year, I started the season a little [...]
SFN will have a lot of analysis regarding the 2007-2008 NC State Basketball season and the future of the Wolfpack Basketball Program when this season mercifully comes to a conclusion. Today, the News & Observer‘s Chip Alexander chimed in with a very good look back at 15 reasons why the Wolfpack stunk it up this [...]
As both replays in this entry indicate, there was the slightest bit of contact during the first part of Nelson’s drive that was obviously initiated by Nelson’s hook. No whistle blew at the time of the contact. The whistle didn’t blow (and a foul wasn’t called) until a part of the play where there was [...]
I didn’t expect to get even madder when I read the sports page this morning. But then I read these quotes from Ben McCauley: “It may seem like it but we’re still trying to [win],” junior forward Ben McCauley said. “We’re definitely trying to. “I don’t think we’ve forgotten how to win [but] I think [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
