We will come back to this once the 2008-09 season is completely over. But I think it’s a good time to look back at this entry from last February, after a particularly brutal loss to Boston College. Many of our current commenters posted thoughts on that thread. Now that a little over a year has […]
Maryland Game Thread/Semi-Live Blog
I enjoyed semi-live blogging the Wake game, so I’ll try to do the same tonight. I am very confident tonight, and expect a fairly comfortable (8-12 point) win. Of course, NC State is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Place your thoughts, reactions, and happy/angry utterances […]
Wake Forest Game Thread
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 blog, […]
Pack Grinds Out Fifth ACC Win, Terps Claw Back to Bubble
For all the crap he has (rightly) taken, Courtney Fells really sacked up for the Pack today. He played excellent defense on Landesberg, and was the only State player not to panic in the last minute of the game. After Horner repeated his horrific clutch free throw shooting against teams from the Old Dominion, UVA […]
Welcome to the Death Spiral, Sid!
I am prepared to make it official – Sidney Lowe has entered the Death Spiral. What did he learn from yesterday’s meltdown? “I thought Javi played well,†Lowe said after Gonzalez scored nine points with six assists in a 91-87 overtime loss at Virginia Tech. Lowe liked the way Gonzalez pushed the ball up the […]
Virginia Tech Gameday Thread
For two programs on such dramatically opposite performance arcs, the head-to-head record is startling – the Pack has won 6 games in a row. For Hokie fans, it must be hard to imagine what your program might have accomplished if not for this strange losing streak. I’m sure Seth Greenburg (aka “Basketball Grobe”) would prefer […]
Duke, Wake Each Lose By 27 (Good Link Updates @ Noon)
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 uniquely suited to […]
Twenty Turnovers in Win Over Hapless Central
I listened to parts of each half, and it wasn’t very impressive. I heard at least two 10-second calls against State PGs. And the Eagles were actually up 10-2 at the first media timeout. Thankfully, State pulled away in the last ten minutes to avoid an embarrassing score in this morning’s paper. But against a […]
The Point Guard Drought, Contextualized
NC State’s last all-ACC point guard, as you all know, was Chris Corchiani (1990-91). Here is what we believe to be a comprehensive list of other programs’ PG representatives on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team all-conference, in the post-Fire era: Boston College (1) – Tyrese Rice* Clemson (2) – Terrell McIntyre, Chris Whitney Virginia Tech […]
Costner Will Not Return for 2009-10
I have made reference to this several times in comments, but I finally have a link to back up what I’ve heard from multiple sources: NB: How many years are you planning on staying in college? BC: This is my fourth year, so it’s probably my last year. NB: Aren’t you a redshirt junior? BC: […]
