8-38?
Much of the Sendek debate is summed up in a simple statistic: 8-38: “8” is the number of wins Sendek’s program has against UNC and Duke, collectively, in 46 attempts. “38” is the number of losses Sendek’s program has against those two schools. And not to engage in Sendek Supporter Math (kind of like Curry […]
State is ACC’s #4 Seed
Boston College came back to defeat Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles’ victory served to lock NC State into the #4 seed in this year’s Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament regardless of the outcome of the Wolfpack’s game against Winston-Salem later in the afternoon. The Pack will face the winner of the #5 vs #12 […]
Tough Week in the Media for Sendek
When it rains, it pours. As NC State’s “great season” was being exposed as a farce built on the back of another embarassingly poor schedule, Coach Herb Sendek was simultaneously taking quite a few body-blows in the press over the last couple of weeks. In addition to this insightful piece from the Fayetteville Observer, the […]
Not Ready for Primetime (After 10 years)
No one would ever mistake me for a Brett Friedlander fan. (Take a look at last year’s embarassment by Brett to see why) So, when someone who is historically such an apologist for a certain cause writes a piece like the one that Brett wrote last week, then everyone really needs to stand up and […]
Conference SOS
As soon as ACC decided to go to an unbalanced basketball schedule, it was obvious that some teams would get “harder�? schedules and some would get “easier�? ones. So now the time has come to try and figure out which is which. I decided to compile the ACC wins by each team’s opponents and use […]
RPI Update
This idea of graphing State’s RPI ranking through the season doesn’t seem like such a hot idea today. As of Saturday morning, State’s RPI rank had climbed to #29 thanks to several higher ranked teams losing. After another pitiful performance, State’s RPI fell to #39…its lowest ranking since Jan 4. SEASON SUMMARY 21-8 (10-6) […]

Ending With a Most Pathetic Whimper
From BJD: In its regular season finale, with a full week to prepare, NC State played about as poorly as possible, and continued its 3 game losing streak. The Wolfpack could get no closer than 7 in the last 10 minutes, despite ice cold shooting from Justin Gray (which every Wolfpacker not named Atsur or […]
