NC State put together one of the top ten performances of the entire Herb Sendek era on Friday night to defeat #3 ranked Wake Forest (sans Chris Paul) in the Quarterfinal round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. In conjunction with many of the events of the last two days related to other teams sitting […]

Vitale: Standard for Coaches is 3 Years
“…not only (does Tom Butters deserve credit for) hiring him (Coach K) but what about keeping him after three years when he was under .500?

Friday in the ACC
Survive and Advance The Wolfpack did what we had to do – we beat Florida State (again). Thank God for Florida State. I don’t know how we figure out a way to get matched up against the Seminoles in the first round (3 of 9 times), but I’ll take it. (Now, if could just find […]

Big 12 Blog: How’d he do that?
If you do not recognize the picture of this^ man, then I can promise you that one day, you will. Just like Bill Self, this man’s mentor and former boss, I can tell you early in his career that he is going to be successful over the long haul. With that said, I just wanted […]
