NC State survives, advances to ACC Tournament quarterfinals
In the nightcap of day one action from the ACC Tournament NC State used 19 points and eight rebounds from Tracy Smith to advance past No. 6 seed Clemson, 59-57. With the win NC State became the third lower seed of the day to pick up a victory. No. 9 seed Virginia and No. 12 [...]

Watching the Pack come all the way back from a 21-point first half deficit to get within one point of the Tigers was a lot of fun and showed me a lot about the character of this year’s group, but it still stings to lose another close game, especially at home. Here’s the box score. The [...]

Got thoughts? Post ‘em here. This is the official “peek between the gaps in your fingers” game post. No Live Blog today (sorry). Check Twitter before and during the game for updates and check back after the game for some instant analysis.

Friday, January 15, 2010
After Tuesday night’s upset win against Florida State on the road, the argument could certainly be made that Saturday’s matchup with ranked Clemson is now infinitely more important. NC State went to FSU, got below average performances from its top three players (Gonzalez, Smith and Horner), and still managed to pull out the victory over [...]

Sunday, November 15, 2009
In a game nowhere near as close as the final score, the Clemson Tigers eviscerated NC State yesterday in Carter-Finley, 43-23. We blogged and had a lot of community input during the game that can be seen by clicking here. Given that Clemson are the Tigers, and tigers of course have claws, perhaps synonyms for [...]

Saturday, November 14, 2009
As Alpha noted earlier this week, the troubled, bruised, 1-4 NC State Wolfpack is pretty much the last hurdle between Clemson and its first Atlantic Division title. The very same Wolfpack that lost at home to Duke by 3 touchdowns, then got smoked even worse by Boston College (a team that Clemson manhandled a few [...]

Tuesday, October 13, 2009
At least we aren’t the only ones with problems. Let’s look at what a Clemson and Florida State blog are writing about. Avenue of Champions (Clemson) Swinney reportedly overrides Napier around 15-25 plays per game, primarily taking control in the red zone and during critical situations including calling almost all of the last 3 drives [...]

Wednesday, August 5, 2009
This is Part IV of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us [...]

Wednesday, July 15, 2009
As college football season approaches, I noted how difficult it was to pick someone to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. On the flip side, I could easily argue the case against every team. The “slow season” for Wolfpack news is an ideal time to explore this in more detail. Today, we look at everybody’s favorite [...]

ESPN has two pieces of note this morning. First, the NCAA alleges that Derrick Rose might not have taken his own SAT (if one reads between the lines). It sounds like the only punishment being discussed is vacating Rose’s Final Four, but even that would suck for Memphis, a program whose best days are behind [...]

Wednesday, January 21, 2009
This excerpt is from an email that a friend drafted chronicling a most glorious day back in the winter of 1997. It involves the annual Clemson/UNC matchup in Chapel Hill. Names have been altered for anonymity. Enjoy. “…In 1997, I drove down from DC or Va, wherever I was that late winter. I met up [...]

Post any comments here. I’ve copied and pasted a few comments from the OTR thread. Key Halftime Stats Pts off Turnovers: Clemson – 10 State – 2 Shooting Percentage: Clemson – 40% State – 21%

The Wolfpack men’s hoops squad travels tomorrow to play Clemson in its first conference game of the year, and they will not only have to deal with the 15-0 and 12th ranked Tigers, they’ll have to deal with a full house of Clemson fans in Littlejohn: Looks like Clemson’s 15-0 start has fans excited about [...]

Sunday, October 19, 2008
There’s nothing quite like throwing your brother under the bus in the media to make the family Thanksgiving dinner a lot more interesting: AJC: Brother Deserved Firing “He deserved it because he, of all people, knew what to expect when he got into this business,” Terry Bowden wrote in his weekly Yahoo.com comments. “Clemson expects [...]

Monday, October 13, 2008
Be sure to look below to read the updates to the story as they happen… Tommy Bowden has been relieved of his duties as Clemson’s head football coach, effective immediately, Tigerillustrated.com has learned. Bowden told assistant coaches moments ago in a staff meeting. We talked about this in detail on Friday in a comprehensive entry [...]

Friday, October 10, 2008
RUMOR: “BOWDEN TO BE FIRED THIS AFTERNOON” – from Block C (didn’t happen…yet) The Wolfpack’s idle week has obviously given us the opportunity to focus on some interesting coaching situations developing across the country at places like Tennessee and Auburn. You can all but guarantee that Tommy Bowden will probably be run out of Death [...]

Friday, October 10, 2008
A preseason top 10 ranking in your 12th season as a team’s head coach is a death sentence only if you’re the sort of coach who enjoys toying with failure, running the program perilously close to the gaping edge of a losing season, and then dramatically rallying in WWE style from a sure submission hold. [...]

Monday, September 29, 2008
So here is my opinion of what Terry Don Phillips should do: 1. Inform Tommy Bowden today that he has been released as the head coach. 2. Name Dabo Swinney as the interim head coach.

Saturday, September 13, 2008
Pre-Game: Some simple, painful truths – Clemson under Bowden always shits the bed when it has an opportunity to take the “next step” – but with it’s collective back against the wall, they almost always win, and win easily. Naturally, we get version 2 of the Tiggers today. Even worse, the temperature will approach 90 [...]

Saturday, September 13, 2008
This is a bit odd being home on a Saturday not preparing for a long day of tailgating. At least there are a lot of quality games on television today. It has been a while since I have felt good about our chances going into game against a quality, deep, athletic team like Clemson. With [...]
