NC State plays a full 40 minutes, beats No. 23 Wake Forest 68-54
After finding multiple ways to lose leads and playing inconsistent basketball for much of the last month, NC State finally finished a game against Wake Forest Saturday, picking up a 14-point victory after dropping seven straight conference games. NC State forced 23 Wake Forest turnovers (15 in the first half) and held down Ish Smith, forcing [...]

Jesus. Right before one of our ‘defining’ games for the season. Obviously, Smith should have just called the refs a bunch of GD MutherF’ers right on the court during the game so that he could be afforded the same flexibility that Coach K and Gary Williams receive on a nightly basis. Link to Wolfpacker RALEIGH, N.C. – [...]

Sunday, December 20, 2009
NC State travels to Wake Forest tonight for a ‘big’ game for both teams. Although this is a conference game, it is one of three defining games the Wolfpack will play – Wake, @ Arizona, vs Florida – before the conference season kicks into high gear in January. Rush the Court is going to “Cover [...]

Saturday, October 3, 2009
The ending was a perfect microcosm of the Keystone Kops effort by NC State. Wake was stopped dead to rights on 3rd and 6, but 2 (maybe 3) embarrassingly bad missed tackles later, and it’s first down Deacs. 30-24 is your final, and the game was not as close as the score would [...]

3:25: Your forums game thread is here. Enjoy! Saturday morning…heading to the game…running late. Opening this thread for other authors to add/enhance today if they can. I will be Twittering from the game at our statefansnation account. Also ask anyone out there Twittering to use #statewake as a tag so that all of the [...]

Already having a great conversation regarding this weekend’s visit to Wake Forest on this entry on the blog and in this thread on the message boards. Additionally, we thought that you would like find some value in this entry from the great Dr. Saturday. His work looks at the weekend of three of the Wolfpack’s [...]

Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Don’t be fooled into believing that NC State will wolf down a cupcake against a poor team on Saturday in Winston-Salem. Tom O’Brien certainly isn’t, and Pack fans would be wise to believe their coach: State’s upcoming road and conference opener will be anything but an easy win for the favored Red and White. Despite State’s [...]

WRAL: Eugene & Vermiglio not on current two-deep WRAL is reporting that neither Jamelle Eugene nor Jake Vermiglio were ‘listed on the N.C. State depth chart for the Pittsburgh game, which was released by the school Monday afternoon.’ I’m not going to lose any sleep over this yet as: (1) I haven’t seen this two-deep listed on [...]

Tuesday, July 28, 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. Previously, we talked [...]

BMOC: The man who doesn’t make excuses
Monday, July 6, 2009
(Wake Forest Athletics Director Ron) Wellman will soon complete his 17th year as the director of athletics at Wake Forest University. The university’s teams have flourished under him, winning conference and national championships while generally exceeding expectations for the smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the smallest to play major-college football. Welcome [...]

Tuesday, June 16, 2009
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: - Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. - Subtract contributions from “graduating” players. - Add in contributions that we will see from new players. - Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with [...]

Nothing to lose, everything to gain – NC State is not on the NCAAT bubble now, and that status doesn’t change with a loss. Unless, of course, the Deacs really destroy the Pack. That would indeed qualify as a significant setback, which could harm team confidence going forward. This won’t be a full live [...]

Thursday, February 26, 2009
Tonight, the Wolfpack plays Wake Forest for the second time in a must-win game for both teams. State, for its part, needs to get another quality win to pad any potential NCAA-bid resume it may be hoping to assemble, and Wake, well, Wake needs to slow its recent skid and descent from the #1 position [...]

Thursday, February 5, 2009
I can’t say that I saw this coming. Miami forced the Deacons to shoot from the perimeter – and they couldn’t do it. Looks like a good roadmap for other ACC teams. On the other hand, Clemson just beat Duke senseless with defensive pressure and transition baskets (as they and Carolina are [...]

Ever wondered why Wake Forest has a better atmosphere than NC State? Mike Odom has never scored a point for Wake Forest, but when the Deacons play No. 1 Duke tonight, he will be called on to give the team some oomph. During breaks in the action, Odom will cue up “Zombie Nation” or another high-energy song [...]

Sunday, November 16, 2008
I was sad to see that the N&O’s ACCNow did not do one of their usual video segments for yesterday’s Wolfpack win over Wake Forest (regardless of the fact that they can’t figure out a way to provide us code to embed videos on SFN.) WRAL continues to improve their presence on the internet and their [...]

Saturday, November 15, 2008
Bobby Bowden first remarked that programs that are improving first lose by a little, then they win by a little. We remarked after the near-win against Boston College that the Wolfpack was close — that they lost by a little against the Eagles, 38-31, in a game where the NC State defense could not make that [...]
