Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.
Call it a hangover after the win the previous night against Coastal, call it a delayed reaction to losing Luke Nixon early, call it what you will. In the end, NC State finally pulled away and put to bed an upset bid by Queens, notching a 9-2 win over the Royals in Raleigh. Freshman LHP […]
There are shrewd ways of ending the regular season, like perhaps not blowing a late lead on the road or just generally not entering an impressive stretch of defensive incompetence, but personally I prefer the other routes, which involve defiantly staring down the bubble and saying “look at all the dumb shit we can do!” […]
NC State is well-represented on the ACC’s all-conference teams, as usual. The league announced its postseason awards on Tuesday, and both Zoe Brooks and Khamil Pierre earned First Team honors. Pierre was fourth overall in the voting, while Brooks was right behind her in fifth. Pierre is averaging 16.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game […]
In the toughest test to date, #13 NC State took down #16 Coastal Carolina by a final score of 6-4 in Raleigh. The Wolfpack certainly didn’t play the cleanest game, but after administering a slew of beatdowns to overmatched teams, the grit showed by State to overcome a deficit and then respond to a late […]

Game Summary: The first half started well, Ven Lubin scored and Darrion Williams hit 3 3PT shots. Able came in and hit another one putting the Wolfpack ahead 14-13 at the 13.20 mark. But then Coach Scheyer yelled, “don’t forget to play defense”, and from that point Duke closed the half 34-16. Duke’s Dame Sarr […]
After two straight terrible defensive efforts, NC State gets to contend with the league’s best offense, one that scores inside the arc at an elite rate. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Blue Devils vs. Wolfpack Tip time: 7 p.m. ET TV: ESPN (Dave O’Brien, Cory Alexander, Molly McGrath) Online streaming: WatchESPN
The Pack9 continued to kick around the tomato cans of their non-conference schedule, sweeping Sacred Heart over the weekend in Raleigh with each game of the three-game series being called early due to the mercy/slaughter/run rule. All told, the Wolfpack outscored the Pioneers 45-9 on the weekend. Ryan Marohn had a few uncharacteristic struggles in […]

The rout was on for NC State right from the start, as the Wolfpack scored the game’s first 12 points and just kept pouring it on. NC State led by 15 after the first quarter, 32 at the break, and 48 after the third. Pittsburgh is the worst-shooting team in the ACC (in addition to […]
This week has put a particular point on a persistent problem, which is that NC State’s defensive effort is just not very good, and to call this team’s defense “atrocious,” as Will Wade did after the game Saturday, is being kind. For a team that is actually pretty good, one that’s going to make the […]
Thoughts: Game Summary: The first half started well with NC State taking an 11—2 lead, and then Notre Dame’s Cole Certa hit 3 consecutive 3PT shots to cut the score to 13-11. At that point the score stayed close, Notre Dame tied it at 25. NC State shot only 50% (3-6) from the free throw […]

Of all the games NC State has played this season, this was certainly one of them. A dreadful effort from start to finish, where the defensive intensity lacked in the first half and execution at the offensive end was poor throughout, but the lengthy stretches of inconsistency didn’t matter because Wake Forest is just that […]

NC State’s offense cooled off considerably from Tuesday, scoring nine fewer runs in a comparative nailbiter with Akron. When the dust settled, the Wolfpack sweated out an 18-3 win over the Zips. Joking aside, the Pack ran like a hot knife through butter in this one, jumping out to an 8-0 lead after three innings, […]
C.J. Bailey tossed a pair of touchdowns, Duke Scott ran for another, and the Wolfpack tacked on a pair of field goals as the Wolfpack football breezed to a 27-0 win over Richmond on… Tuesday afternoon at… Doak Field… Wait a minute! This was a baseball game! Holy smokes, what the heck?! There’s not much […]
Game Summary: The first half looked almost exactly like the one in Raleigh. Just like in Raleigh, Lewis went off – hitting 2-2 from 3PT for their first two shots. Tre Holloman hit a 3PT for the Wolfpack’s first basket at 17:11. The Pack got their second basket at 12:41 bringing the score to 5-15. […]

The background probably isn’t too necessary here, but NC State picked up a huge commitment on Monday from 4-star QB Gunner Rivers, the son of Philip Rivers. Welcome the Wolfpack, Gunner! The younger Rivers is a 6’4, 205 lbs QB, ranked the #125 player overall in the class of 2027 and the #10 QB. As […]
NC State looked a lot better Sunday than it did in the two games prior—the execution was better, and shots were going in, which does tend to help. It was also helpful that Tilda Trygger got involved early following a couple of no-show performances. The game went back and forth for the first five minutes, […]
