Gavin Grant was a one-man show again, and Ben McCauley had another solid game. Brandon Costner continued to rebound well despite being rusty offensively. Fells […]

NC State 78 Northern State 71
Link to N&O’s game story Link to Box Score and play-by-play Link to Section Six’s statistical breakdown that we love NC State scored 78 points on about 76 possessions, which is a mediocre 103 pts/100 possessions.

Basketball Approaches
We had a quite a weekend of despair on the gridiron, so we ask that you spend time scrolling through some of our football entries on your own without a lot of linking from us. We’ll get back to a lot more commentary on the Pack’s spiraling season later in the day. But, while hope […]

With basketball approaching before you know it, Gary Parrish ranks his top 20 point guards in America in this column. The ACC lands three of the top 10 playmakers, but none of the next ten.
