Personal: Sweet 16 After 16 Years
Consider that just like in 1989, NC State is again traveling to the Northeast with a coach who is in his 9th season for a Sweet 16 game on Friday night of Easter weekend and a win would put us in the Regional Finals against another school from the Triangle who would be the favorite.
Forde: Sweet 16 & Sendek

49ers on Friday
What’s wrong with this statement from this week’s Sporting News? Best bet to pull an upset: NC State. Julius Hodge can do it all-and he’ll do whatever he can to extend his college career as long as possible. Charlotte is vulnerable after losing three straight games.

Yawn…Fowler Gives an Interview (again)
