Good for TJ. Because of his emotional connection to WolfpackNation and his fantastic play he will go down as a fan favorite. Heck, in today’s ‘new world’ of college basketball he may end up as the most popular two-year player in NC State history to leave the program early. To compete for the honor of […]

Tyler Lewis transfers to Butler
Tyler Lewis transfers to a mid-major who lost its coach last year (who pretty clearly saw the writing on the wall, talent-wise), and finished 14-17 last season. Very clearly a step down from NC State. Tyler Lewis: “I need a coach that has full confidence in me and someone I can trust.” http://t.co/a4mVtHBZh7 — Derek […]
Oh, Maryland

UNC-CH administrator & player: “We Cheated”, “it was a scam”, “it was so obvious”, “everybody knew”, “coaches knew”, “whole system of corruption”

HBO Real Sports focuses on UNC-CH

Barring all the wins that have been vacated due to NCAA violations, of course. — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) March 23, 2014 On that topic, more media attention is on its way to Chapel […]
Big Four S16 streak snapped
