We would like to link to Technician more often, but we limit ourselves with a focus on quality here and unfortunately the inexperienced, usually uninformed student perspective falls a little short of our standards. But today we tip our hat Nick Jeffreys for this commentary that deserves mention. The first year and few months have […]

Jay Bilas Comments During Halftime and Postgame Of The UNC Beatdown
Bilas at halftime: “A little embarrassing? That was the most embarrassing first half I’ve seen all season long. What do you do if you’re Sidney Lowe? Do you draw a play up? You’ve gotta go in (to the locker room) and draw a big heart there and say, ‘Do we have any?’”These guys are not […]
Post UNC Game Topic
How is this for crazy…as badly as NC State lost today (31 points @ the RPI’s #1 rated team in America) another Big Four team actually did WORSE!! Wake Forest lost at Boston College (#89 in the RPI) by 39 points!!! In the true Wolfpack spirit of trying to find a silver lining — NC […]

Live Blogging from the Central Game
The Pack takes the court at 7 tonight against a second consecutive D-1 newbie, the North Carolina Central Eagles. Lowe’s squad continues to search the corners of the earth for an opponent crappy enough to provide a comfortable win. Sagarin has 1-18 NCCU at 329, 14 slots behind the mighty Blue Hose of Prebyterian College. […]
CHLT OBS: State will Start 1-5 in ACC
I would like to link to the Charlotte Observer piece on the blog…but, their crappy website isn’t loading very well this morning so they will have to go without our referal traffic today. “NC State is an impossible team to figure out. The Wolfpack defeated Villanova on a neutral court and won at Seton Hall, […]
Inside State’s 6-Game Win Streak
Two general articles out there today to share. This one from Ed Hardin pretty much just rambles about the entire league but has this observation of NC State: N.C. State has been an out-and-out flop with no one bringing the Wolfpack along. Dissension and uninspired play, something Sidney Lowe simply must rectify in the coming […]
Pack vs PC: State Ugly Again, Advances to 10-3
“It is like going to the dentist without any novocaine.” – Gary Hahn describing NC State Basketball State shot 1 of 11 from the three point line in the first half and 5 of 7 in the second half NC State takes the court today against a Presbyterian College team with a horrible record but […]
State’s ACC Schedule
Jeff’s partial listing of RPI rankings earlier this week held several surprises and spurred me into looking at State’s ACC schedule versus these too-early RPI rankings. So let’s look a little closer at the surprises (well they surprised me anyway) as well as State’s ACC schedule which doesn’t open until next weekend against UNC. STATE […]
