Friday was a very good day for NC State’s hopes to reach the the Wolfpack’s third consecutive NCAA Tournament. State’s big victory over Syracuse coupled with the impact of Pittburgh’s win over UNC-CHeats hsa served to make up significant room in the NCAA’s Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). As of 11:08pm, Live-RPI.com projects NC State to […]
State Survives Syracuse, Advances to Saturday
State ensured Jim Boeheim’s visit to Greensboro was a short one, dispatching Syracuse 66-63 in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals earlier tonight. Warren had 28 points and Vandenberg came up big with 10. State will play Duke Saturday around 3:30pm in a game that now becomes our most important of the season, as we could play […]
SI: ACC finalizing Tournament in Brooklyn in 2017
We all knew this was inevitable, even before Boeheim started whining incessantly about Denny’s and Greensboro. Considering Wednesday’s GT-BC game could’ve been played at Page and there’d have been tickets available, this will make for an interesting viewing experience. Pete Thamel (SI.com): The Atlantic Coast Conference is finalizing details for a multi-year agreement to play […]
Maryland departs ACC ‘on the dunk’
What a way to bow out…ironically, to the team that kinda represents the first of the ‘new ACC’ and helped start the shifts towards the larger conferences almost 25 years ago. After all of the years of Maryland’s complaining about the “Tobacco Road centricity” of the Atlantic Coast Conference and the ACC Tournament, the following […]
Speaking of #ACCrefs
In case you missed it this week: Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin — who, himself, is nothing if not pompous — was visibly upset over an out of bounds call the other night, but TV Teddy clearly escalated Cronin’s outrage by lunging into his face. You be the judge. The Cincinnati Enquirer: “I don’t appreciate people getting […]
Wolfpack Women play Friday
Wes Moore’s Wolfpack Women have earned a ‘double-bye’ in this year’s ACC Tournament and will take the floor in Greensboro on Friday at 11am. On a related note, while this article in Sunday’s N&O was designed to highlight a growing trend in hiring men to coach women, it also focuses a lot on Wes and […]
NIT season will result from State’s own bad habits
I think yesterday’s Wolfpack effort against the Miami Hurricanes was hilariously (and sadly accurately) summed up by the @Lee_Folwer Twitter account: well, state could have saved us all a bunch of trouble today by just going ahead and buying a postage stamp. — Coach L Folwer (@Lee_Folwer) March 1, 2014 In hindsight, yesterday’s home […]
Oh look, Technician suddenly has time to write articles! [Updated 6:46pm]
Oh look, Technician suddenly has time to write articles!…and, they are just my ‘favorite’ kind of articles where some douchebag who doesn’t know jack shit about NC State history sits on a throne and ordains that they are better fans than everyone else!!! (GREAT MOVE, TECHNICIAN!!! Just what you need to be doing right now […]
Why do we bother caring?
After all of the calls for ‘illegal breathing’against anyone in red & whate that dared played defense near James Michael McAdoo tonight…the video below shows…of course, no foul on McAdoo and out of bounds off State. Without the bad call, there is probably no way that Carolina wins with State up two with 35 seconds […]
