Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.
Two hard-fought games sandwiched a blowout win as NC State took two-of-three from Princeton this weekend. The Wolfpack now stand at 5-1 on the year while the Tigers are 1-2. Princeton, coming off a horrid 2025 campaign, looks poised for a stronger 2026 campaign behind a pitching staff that looked much improved. Aside from the […]
Duke playes Michigan at the Capital One Arena in Washington. Michigan is favored by 2.5. You’d think being an east coach venue that the Duke faithful would dominate the crowd, but it’s been a while since Michigan has had this kind of potential, so may be well represented. Should be a great game. UNC is […]
NC State had another disappointingly uncompetitive effort on Thursday night, losing to Duke by 18. The expected margin on that game was 10, as Torvik saw it, so this is twice in a row that State has underperformed pretty significantly. Given what’s happened these past two games, I thought it worthwhile to look at how […]

Status Report: THE BIG QUESTION: Will Matt Able break into the starting lineup? I think it is time to start him. Assuming Matt would start at shooting guard in front of Tre Holloman, comparing the two. A look around the neighborhood
A back-and-forth early game Wednesday afternoon in Raleigh ultimately resulted in a 7-3 Wolfpack win over Winthrop, moving NC State to 3-0 on the season.

Game Summary: Having witnessed the Carolina magic too many times, when Tre Holloman sprained his ankle in the first minute, and then Darrion Williams left blood on the floor – I was beginning to expect the worst. But I kept feeling better every time the Heels missed one of their 28 MISSED 3PT shots. Quadir […]

NC State made a couple more additions through the portal recently to add depth at quarterback and offensive tackle: former Coastal Carolina quarterback Tad Hudson, and ex-UT Martin offensive tackle Jai’Lun Hampton are now in the fold. Hudson, who spent his freshman season at UNC, was Coastal’s primary starter in 2025 and played pretty poorly, […]

Capping a frustrating weekend of basketball, the women’s team never got going in South Bend, and in fact never led on the way to a non-competitive defeat. A good fourth quarter made the game look a little closer than it was—the Irish used a big second quarter to take full control and faced little difficulty […]
Game Summary: I would guess Miami got pretty much what they wanted in the first half, other than making free throws. McNeil was 0-1, Williams had 5 points, and Copeland was driving to the basket a lot and only had 2 assists. Rebounding was a nightmare to watch, Miami had 11 offensive rebounds and led […]
Indiana State was no match for NC State on Saturday morning in Puerto Rico. The Wolfpack jumped out to 10-0 lead after five innings and cruised to a good-buddy, 10-4, victory. NC State now stands at 2-0 on the year while the Sycamores fall to 1-1. The story around Jacob Dudan this offseason was how […]

A scoreless game heading into the 4th inning ended up as a blowout win for NC State as the Wolfpack took Washington to the woodshed in the season opener for both squads. The game was called after the 7th inning on account of the run-rule. State went quietly in the top of the 1st inning, […]

As the regular season winds down, NC State finds itself in unfamiliar territory, which is to say, well outside of the hosting picture. Based on the latest NCAA tournament bracket projections, the Wolfpack would need a really strong finish in order to earn a top-four seed and spend the first weekend in Raleigh. ESPN’s Charlie […]

We’re less than 30 days out from the start of NC State’s 2026 baseball season, so now’s as good a time as any to get to know the team before they hit the diamond. The Wolfpack will be looking for their third trip to Omaha in the last six seasons, so let’s figure out how […]
Game Summary: The Saturday / Monday schedule showed in the first half. NC State looked slow and were already down 10 at the first official timeout. The Wolfpack was 2-8 and Louisville was 6-7. By the second timeout (11:55), the Wolfpack had cut the lead to 7 but Louisville was dominating rebounds 10-4 and neither […]
Got ourselves a gravy game tonight: winning would be quite useful, but a loss doesn’t really hurt. Wolfpack vs. Cardinals Tip time: 7 p.m. ET TV: ESPN (Dave O’Brien, Jay Williams, Molly McGrath) Online streaming: WatchESPN
Drake Thomas capped an incredible year with the Seahawks by winning the Super Bowl on Sunday night, once again getting the better of Drake Maye in the process. In hindsight, it’s a wonder anyone thought that the Patriots would win this game, given the prior history between Thomas and Maye. Big congrats to Thomas for […]
A big second quarter performance proved decisive for NC State in Blacksburg, as the Wolfpack outscored Virginia Tech 25-8 over the last 10 minutes of the opening half. After a slow start, State scored the final seven points of the first quarter to even the score at 19, then utilized separate runs of 10-0 and […]
