…from one of our All-Star message board posters… “I was curious to see how players developed under Lowe looking strictly at their numbers from each season under Lowe. Some players that played for both Lowe and Sendek I included their last season under Sendek just for information purposes, Grant was the only one to play […]
Sidney Lowe
Comprehensive ACCT Thoughts
I decided to hold my thoughts on State’s ACC tourney performance until it was all over (and since I had stuff going on last night, I waited until today). So here goes: 1) State’s half-court defense against Clemson and Florida State was as good as I’ve seen us play in many, many years. Even against […]
The Sidney Lowe Rebound
As a 2004 NC State graduate, there wasn’t really much to write home about when it came to sports. A few years of Philip, a Gator Bowl win, and a few really disappointing ACC Tournament Championship games… I moved to the midwest after college and was in a small bar watching Julius Hodge take on […]
Sidney Speaks
Asking for some forgiveness from you guys as I have been down for the count sick the last couple of days. Was feeling guilty about not updating the blog, so wanted to quickly throw a couple of interviews with Coach Lowe up for your review. Dave Glenn interviews Sidney and Coach Lowe does an excellent […]
Mays and Smith Say Some Players on Last Year’s State Team Were Selfish
One of the oldest cliches in sports is that there is no “I” in “team.” Like most cliches, there is a solid kernel of truth in the center, albeit one that becomes so overused the people start looking past it. According to an article on WRALsportsfan.com’s website this morning, there was a lot of “I” […]
Katz: “NC State Working Back To Good Times”
Sometimes, it’s said, it is hard to see the forest for the trees. That might be the case for NC State’s fans where its hoops program is concerned, at least in the eyes of ESPN college hoops scribe Andy Katz. According to him, the Wolfpack is working their way back to respectability, albeit with a […]
Headscratching Hire – Strength and Conditioning Coach
As I alluded in the comments section of this thread, Robbi Pickeral penned an interesting article last Sunday, noting that Sidney Lowe had named a new strength and conditioning coach. Lowe’s choice? Wright Wayne, Lowe’s coach in 1983, who had been reassigned to other programs within the athletic department for the last 12 years. If […]

CollegeHoops.net is counting down their preseason ranking of every college basketball team and unfortunately for us the Wolfpack’s preview popped up three full months before the season is slated to tip-off. This link will take you to CollegeHoops’ preview for the #119 ranked NC State Wolfpack, who the site selects to finish last in the […]
Lorenzo Brown – Another One Bites the Dust
I apologize for not being more timely – I’ve been on vacation and out of the loop. But yes, what you may have heard is indeed true – Lorenzo Brown is headed to prep school and will not suit up for the 2009-10 Wolfpack squad. No matter how down the ACC may be, this is […]
From the Comments – An Outside View of NC State Hoops
Long-time commenter (and very gracious guest in Wolfpack Blogistan) nycfan gave a very detailed assessment of our basketball program under the “stewardship” of Fowler and Lowe. Many times, a knowledgeable outsider can give a more honest, objective assessment – since emotion doesn’t get in the way. I just wanted to highlight this comment for the […]
