Ranging from “Wade hasn’t shown me much”, to “I […]
NC State’s stay in the NCAA tournament begins both regrettably early and unpleasantly late, so at least we’ve got that going for us. The Wolfpack’s matchup against Texas in Dayton is slated for a 9:15(ish) p.m. ET start on Tuesday night, with television coverage by TruTV. We’ll have play-by-play man Brian Anderson attempting to wrangle […]
NC State played three tight games with Boston College over the weekend in Raleigh – even if that Saturday score ended up a bit lopsided – with the Wolfpack ultimately capturing the 2-1 series win in their ACC opener. Boston College’s conference record dropped to 3-3, and the Eagles now sit at 11-8 overall while […]
One of the many enjoyable things about the NCAA tournament is getting to see your school match up with teams it wouldn’t typically see; there’s a fresh-air aspect to the postseason that I really— Wait a minute. You said the women’s team is also getting a regular season rematch in the first round? For the […]
NC State is back in the NCAA tournament but is up against a brutal draw to reach the second weekend. Turns out the Wolfpack was one of the last four at-large teams in the field, putting it in Dayton along with its opponent, Texas, as well as SMU and Miami (OH). That’s a tad confusing, […]
NC State isn’t going to be sweating its inclusion in the NCAA tournament field come Sunday, but it will be sweating a trip to Dayton for the First Four. Beating Virginia yesterday would have solidified State’s status in the field proper, but instead its landing spot is a bit fluid. While the teams on the […]

Knowns: Questions:
Game Summary: The first half went well, especially considering NC State was down 40-20 and 32-19 at the half in the first two games and the game was mostly decided. The Wolfpack came out of the gate hot and led till the 6:55 mark when UVA went up 25-24. The Pack shot 42% / 38% […]

Neither team played defense well in the first half with both teams over 50 points, the halftime score was 51-50 Wolfpack. Pitt equaled their season average 3PT made in the first half. The Pack came out of halftime hot […]

NC State bats couldn’t get going on Tuesday, with the end result being a shutout at the hands of Elon by a final score of 2-0. Not the confidence booster the Wolfpack needed heading into conference play this coming weekend. Both teams managed a meager four hits on the day, and while Phoenix batters struck […]

Elon @ NC State | Tue, Mar 10th @ 3:00pm | ACCNX | Stats It wasn’t the most encouraging of weekend series wins for the Wolfpack, but NC State will enter their Tuesday matchup with Elon sporting a more-than-solid 14-2 record. Yeah, that’ll typically play. The Phoenix enter the game with an 8-7 overall mark […]
Scanning the comments sections on multiple sites after the Stanford loss it is easy to see that the Wolfpack basketball faithful haven’t really changed. Coach Wade has been telling us that it’s a new day, and while the results are more positive than negative, the switch hasn’t flipped in the fanbase because bad results keep […]
After an ugly loss to a previously winless Lafayette squad on Friday in the series opener, NC State came alive late on both Saturday and Sunday to secure the series win over the Leopards in the Wolfpack’s final non-conference regular season series of the season. State improves to 14-2 on the year while Lafayette drops […]
There isn’t a lot left to say that the play on the court doesn’t demonstrate at this point; all of it just leaves a whole batch of confusing questions. Mark Gottfried would be embarrassed by this group’s defensive effort the last few weeks. So I don’t know what you do about that. Maybe the season […]
Game Summary: The first half looked very much like the ‘lost 3 in a row’ Wolfpack. Stanford is missing their second leading scorer, and still NC State’s defense could not contain them, especially Okorie who had 19 points (7-12 / 3-6). The Pack was only 1-9 from 3PT. Stanford led offensive rebounds 10-5. Lubin was […]
I’d love to run this thing back with Quadir Copeland, Darrion Williams, and Ven-Allen Lubin, but alas. One last run for those guys and the rest of the seniors in Raleigh. Cardinal vs. Wolfpack Tip time: 2:15 p.m. ET TV: The CW (Evan Lepler, Mike Gminski) Online streaming: None.
The day started poorly and continued to go that way for NC State as they were handed an 11-6 loss to Lafayette on Friday at Doak Field. The win was the first of the year for a Lafayette team that entered the day 0-7 on the year, having surrendered 10+ runs in each of their […]

The coaching carousel will get to spinning in earnest shortly (on the women’s side, BC and Pitt already have announced changes), and it appears at least four ACC men’s basketball jobs are likely coming open, according to CBS Sports. You can probably guess which ones: Jeff Capel at Pitt, Earl Grant at BC, Damon Stoudamire […]
