The Wolfpack completed the early, easy portion of their schedule with a 3-0 record. While that was expected, what comes as a bit of a surprise is the way they went about accomplishing those wins. Now, the schedule is about to take a step up in competition, as State gets ready to play two games [...]
Most NC State fans were cautiously optimistic about the football team and then a sub-par offensive line and a disappointing running game led to some early losses. But now back-to-back wins against Clemson and Miami the past two weeks have turned the season around and the team sits at 6-3, with the possibility of a [...]
After ending the season on a down note, losing back-to-back games and dropping four of their final seven contests, there was some concern about North Carolina State maybe blowing its NCAA tournament chances. But hopefully that “sky is falling” concern was put to rest with an emphatic 97-77 dismantling of the Virginia Tech Hokies in [...]
After going 3-0 since our last update, North Carolina State cracked the AP Top 25. By itself that’s a great thing for a team that finished in the bottom of the ACC a season ago. But it comes at a time when neither of the blues – Carolina and Duke – are ranked. Noted ACC [...]
State concluded the first half of its ACC schedule with a 6-4 conference record, thanks to winning two of three games since our last update. The two wins came versus two of the bottom teams in the conference in Ga. Tech and Notre Dame. The lone loss was versus North Carolina, one that saw star [...]
North Carolina State won its third straight game with a thrilling 83-81 overtime victory over the No. 16 Miami Hurricanes, Saturday afternoon at home in PNC arena. It’s the sixth win in seven games since a road loss to Miami back on Dec. 10. The win moves the Pack to 14-4 overall and 4-3 in [...]
The Pack’s first game after losing starting center Dusan Mahorcic to a torn patella was an ACC road tilt in Miami. State got off to a great start, jumping out to a 16-point lead. But the team’s hot shooting didn’t last. And combined with some questionable coaching moves, Miami came all the way back to [...]
A lot has happened since the last update following the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Pack returned to action against another tomato can, this time squaring off against William & Mary. The saving grace was that Bill and Mary committed to a style of defense all game long, in that they picked up full court and [...]
When we last checked in on the basketball team, they were 3-0, having beaten three cupcakes. They had one more easy game scheduled before heading to the Bahamas to participate in the Battle 4 Atlantis, where they would play three games in three days against competition significantly better than they had faced all year. Their [...]
The Wolfpack have played two games since our last update, winning both of them to up their season record to 3-0. They haven’t played a particularly good team yet, so take that record with a grain of salt. But their last two opponents offered different challenges, one that State found easier to defeat than the [...]
What better way to put the nightmare that was the 2021-22 college basketball season behind us than with a blowout in the first game of 2022-23. And that’s exactly what the N.C. State Wolfpack did Monday night, as they trounced the Austin Peay Governors, 99-55 at PNC Arena in Raleigh. So, if you missed it [...]
