Wolfpack Nation has been discussing bad news about the football program all week, so it’s time for bad news from the hardwood. This week, sources have told SFN that Andrew Brackman recently informed Head Coach Sidney Lowe of Brackman’s intention not to play basketball this coming season. Additionally, Brackman has apparently not participated in basketball […]

Vitale: Lowe Returns to NC State
Chris Wright visited Raleigh this weekend for the NC State-App State football game — a sport and piece of the student experience that Georgetown cannot offer. By most accounts, the visit went great and a lot of Wolfpackers had the chance to see Wright at the game on Saturday night. Before Wright got to Raleigh […]
2006-07 Basketball Schedule Released
Here’s the link. Of the 12 OOC games, you have 4 games against legitimate, major conference opponents (2005-06 Sagarin rankings in parentheses) – home vs. Michigan (32) and Alabama (40), away vs. West Virginia (18) and Cincy (33). That’s not too shabby, although one has to figure that West Virginia and Cincy will be appreciably […]
N&O Analyzes Lowe’s Contract
See full article here. Personally, I have no problem with the 6-year term. I do worry about converting the contract to a perpetual roll-over with a $500K/yr buyout figure. I certainly hope/expect Lowe will succeed here, but I don’t want NC State to tie its hands forever (for the first 6 years, though, this seems […]
Brackman Update – Good News, Bad News
Good work by the Durham Herald-Sun today. Because, I am a realist/pessimist, I will start with the bad news portion: “My first two years, it was all basketball, and then baseball came second,” said Brackman, who is on a basketball scholarship. “I think it should be baseball first and basketball second.” Lowe wasn’t eager to […]

We couldn’t be more proud of the breadth and depth of our growing reach considering that we are just […]
Jacobs on Sidney, Sendek
The strategy of pacing ourselves and holding off on blitzing the site in May with all of the Sidney-Lowe articles has worked out well for us. Our discussion on “Lowe is Ready For This” went very nicely. Today we have another article to quickly re-address as we go back to a piece written by Barry […]
Quote: Sidney’s Been There
“Sidney’s been there. He remembers the glory. He knows we hate Carolina. We hate Duke. Back then it was a rivalry. It wasn’t a nice friendly game. If we came back to campus and we had lost to North Carolina, man, it was dark on campus. And if we beat them, it was like a […]
Lowe: On Recruiting
“My feeling is that it’s an even playing field. You watch and take the good and utilize it yourself. But, if you want a kid, you have to get in there and battle. You have to work harder than they work. My thing is I’m going to do what I have to do to get […]
Recruiting, Recruiting, Everywhere
This entry helped us set the tone for what is to come in NC State Basketball recruiting this year. In the piece, I commented as to why I had given up on following recruiting years ago; I also commented on my renewed excitement around recruiting in the entry. SFN is NOT going to become a […]
