This is a great montage of NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters. I’m not sure it’s impressive or just plain awesome that I remember seeing most of these live. One of the things I most miss about the NCAA Tournament — with its move several years back to the generic courts for all games — is the […]
NCAA Tournament
Hard to Kill
Some things are really hard to kill…like Count Dracula or the silly notion that 20 wins means something special to the NCAAT Selection Committee. No matter how many times I have shot down the 20-win nonsense, it comes back every year. I’m beginning to fill like a vampire hunter with a rubber stake. In any […]
NCSU Earns a 8 Seed, And Will Face Temple In The East Regional
The NC State Wolfpack has earned an 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will face Temple in Dayton Ohio in the East Regional.  Should State defeat the Owls, they’ll almost certainly face regional top-seed Indiana. The Hoosiers will face the winner of the James Madison/LIU game. Louisville is the overall first seed in the […]
Good vs. Evil Final Four Open Thread (Coaching Search Free!)
It’s the battle of good in the matinee, with evil featured in the nightcap. (Link here) Assuming you can follow basic logic, this means that the national final is guaranteed to match good vs. evil, to CBS’ delight (2010 featured such a matchup – Butler vs. Duke – and was a ratings bonanza). There’s not […]
NCAAT Selection Discussion Thread
Once again, this means nothing to us Pack fans, personally. But it’s still one of the most interesting sports days of the year. This thread will be updated with more analysis once the regions are revealed. Please use the comments to discuss your reactions and add your own analysis. FWIW, I expect one ACC bubble […]
NC State vs NCAA Tournament teams
Now that the season is over, and Duke has won the national championship for 2010, we can fully take stock of the Wolfpack basketball team and see how well they performed against NCAA Tournament teams. As many of us know, this year’s team was 7-7 against NCAA Tournament teams. How does that compare to past […]
The Extra 31 (Who Would Have Made If It Was A 96 Team Tournament)
The Dance Card is prepared annually by two college professors who have used statistical analysis techniques to analyze the at-large bids extended by the NCAAT Selection Committee. While their projections are only valid for the 65 team field, I thought it might be interesting to use their projections to see what a 96 team field […]
The finances behind the destruction of college basketball

96-team NCAAT field could come as early as 2011
I’m not going to get into what I actually think of this move by the money-hungry NCAA because my blood pressure needs to stay at acceptable levels. Every time I hear about this move it makes me question the entire NCAA as a whole. But despite any negative feelings from sports writers, fans, coaches or […]
NCAAT: Where teams come from does matter
This will be the 13th of the last 18 basketball seasons that NC State fans will turn thoughts regarding the NCAA Tournament towards other teams that we can root both for and against. Personally, I am conference/NCAAT/RPI/etc junkie. So, I thought this was a pretty good read to help set college basketball’s current landscape with […]
