I enjoyed semi-live blogging the Wake game, so I’ll try to do the same tonight. I am very confident tonight, and expect a fairly comfortable (8-12 point) win. Of course, NC State is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Place your thoughts, reactions, and happy/angry utterances […]

No Margin For Error: State vs. Maryland Pre-Game Thread
Thanks to Chop for neatly summarizing not only NC State’s in-game scenario, but also the rest of their season: the Wolfpack has no margin for error, and not only does each game rest on each four minute segment of their last few regular season contests, but each segment could also seal their post-season fate as […]
Basketball: Offense & Defense
Joe Giglio and ACCNow are at it again!!! Here they go again putting together some great work and elevating the News & Observer’s credibility!! (potentially with some guidance from our own choppack…see our comments section) This morning Giglio offers some fantastic insight into both the 2008-2009 version of the Wolfpack basketball team and into Coach […]

Wake Forest Game Thread
Nothing to lose, everything to gain – NC State is not on the NCAAT bubble now, and that status doesn’t change with a loss. Unless, of course, the Deacs really destroy the Pack. That would indeed qualify as a significant setback, which could harm team confidence going forward. This won’t be a full live blog, […]
Playing the Preachers: Wake Forest Pre-Game Discussion
Tonight, the Wolfpack plays Wake Forest for the second time in a must-win game for both teams. State, for its part, needs to get another quality win to pad any potential NCAA-bid resume it may be hoping to assemble, and Wake, well, Wake needs to slow its recent skid and descent from the #1 position […]
Monday Basketball Bytes
Let’s kick off the week with some basketball. Crunch =====> I have been accused by some of my friends of being too ‘soft’ on the current basketball situation and being more optimistic than the average fan. But, I am feeling more and more vindicated every time the Wolfpack steps on the floor. There is no […]
Pack Grinds Out Fifth ACC Win, Terps Claw Back to Bubble
For all the crap he has (rightly) taken, Courtney Fells really sacked up for the Pack today. He played excellent defense on Landesberg, and was the only State player not to panic in the last minute of the game. After Horner repeated his horrific clutch free throw shooting against teams from the Old Dominion, UVA […]
Fishin’ for Wahoo: UVA Game Discussion & Who To Pull For
UVA (9-15) 29 38 67 NCSU (15-10) 33 39 72 Today’s game against the University of Virginia is a “must win”, something many of our readers pointed out yesterday. With the ACC standings completely jumbled except for UNC on top and Georgia Tech at the bottom, it makes it difficult to figure out who NC […]
“What’s a Wahoo? A Fish?” — UVA Pre-Game Discussion
Tomorrow at 1pm in the RBC Center, it’s the Game of the Week Year once again for NC State as they face off against the suddenly-hot Virginia Cavaliers. State’s fate in any potential post-season scenario hinges on winning this game. Virginia beat Clemson 85-81 in OT at home last weekend, and then Virginia Tech 75-61 […]
