Which one is more depressing – playing the 9:00 game and having the 7:00 game run 25 minutes late? Or when the game finally comes on and you find out that Corey Alexander is one of the announcers so you know you’re going to hear him talk about himself for half of the game? It’s [...]

It was an emotional win for the Pack, as they honored [...]
N.C. State rallied from a 15-point deficit to take a one-point lead but poor execution down the stretch led to an 87-83 loss to Syracuse Tuesday night in Raleigh.

It’s tough to lose a home game when every contest is critical for both ACC tournament seeding and a potential NCAA bid. But when you convert free throws at a 40% clip and your opponent makes 90% of theirs, well a defeat is all but bound to happen. And that’s how the Pack lost to [...]
DJ Horne poured in 26 points to lead the Wolfpack to an 82-76 win over Georgia Tech Saturday at PNC Arena. The victory gave coach Kevin Keatts his 200th career win and lifted State to a 7-4 record in the ACC. By NET rating, this was the weakest team left on the Wolfpack’s schedule, making [...]

The gang that couldn’t shoot straight strikes again. N.C. State shot a dismal 21% from the floor in the opening 20 minutes. They trailed by 16 at the half, by as many as 21 in the second half and wound up on the short side of a 77-65 score in a conference loss at Syracuse, [...]
N.C. State rallied from 14 points down in the second half at Virginia but were unable to complete the comeback, falling in overtime, 59-53. It was another missed opportunity to pick up a Quad 1 win for the Pack, and one that they can certainly look in the mirror for the main reason why they [...]
