Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.
Adam Howard, Wolfpack Assistant Coach – Offense In an early press conference, when Coach Wade talked about adding Coach Adam Howard to his staff, he said he normally is heavily involved with the offense, but this season he was taking a step back and letting Coach Howard lead. Make no mistake, this team is still […]

It seems the bye week didn’t do anything to improve NC State’s injury situation. If anything, it’s gotten worse, so that’s neat. As they were for the Georgia Tech game, Hollywood Smothers, Justin Joly, and Ronnie Royal are listed as questionable. Anthony Carter Jr. is among the names new to this list; Spike Sowells has […]

It’s football season, which means the undercurrent of restlessness and angst surrounding Miami is as strong as ever; the circumstances change, but the mood does not. A crushing loss at Syracuse last season cost the team a shot at both an ACC title and a playoff appearance in 2024, and this year losses to Louisville […]

Game Summary: The first half was ugly. Terrance Arceneaux was announced as out for the game. At 15:38 Tre Holloman was ejected for doing very little. And it seemed like a competition to see who could get the most fouls. Everyone that played had at least one, Deng and Copeland finished the half with 3 […]

ACC men’s basketball is in dire need of a bounce-back season after being a largely unwatchable mess over the last few years, and while I would hate to jinx anything, perhaps that is just what we’re getting in 2026? The league is off to an excellent start to this season, with only four losses on […]

It wasn’t quite the bounce back performance out of Wes Moore’s crew that we were looking for, what with scoring nine points over the first 10 minutes, but it was more than good enough to take care of Maine. Three games into the season, NC State still hasn’t put together a good shooting performance, with […]

NC State gets back to it this week with the chance to do something truly hilarious, which is to say, kill the Miami Hurricanes’ playoff hopes. This is an unlikely outcome, it’s true, but it sure is fun to think about. NC State is a two-touchdown underdog currently. Miami is coming off a 38-10 home […]

NC State was in control and on its way to another big win to begin the season as the fourth quarter got underway, but by the end of it, the Wolfpack was left dealing with a game that got away. The Pack squandered an 11-point lead down the stretch and handed a win to Southern […]

Musa and Mo If you’ve had the thought, ‘Musa Sagnia makes me think of Mo Diarra’, you aren’t alone. Both are 6’10”, Musa is 20 pounds heavier. Both very athletic. Both international players, and coincidentally, Sagnia is also probably Muslim. (The Gambia is a muslim country) Who could forget the great “Ramadan Mo” tournament? Both […]

Let’s get to it. The Obligatory Bet Against UNC Of The Week It’s been a deflating few weeks on the Obligatory front, yet I feel pretty good about Stanford at +9.5 today. When you take a look at UNC’s history against teams with red uniforms and a block-S logo, you will find that the Tar […]

Dave Doeren has faced questions about his future more frequently in the last couple of weeks and has been consistent in expressing his desire to coach at NC State beyond this season. So if he is planning on retiring, he’s doing a great job of keeping it a surprise. Dave’s been thinking about a lot […]

NC State missed its first 12 three-point attempts Friday night, which is not something that I would have done, personally, but by the end of the game those early struggles were a distant memory. The poor perimeter shooting allowed UAB to make a game of it for a half, but State’s offense began to turn […]

There has been a long running social media campaign to get the classic ‘STATE’ uniforms back, and maybe even make them permanent. Thanks to Coach Wade’s social media guy, Reed Vial, who organizes the ‘Basketball 365’ committee and has been the target of many, many X posts like the one above, the old school uniforms […]

NC State’s season-opener against Tennessee lived up to the hype of a top-10 matchup, with the two teams going back and forth on the way to a frantic finish in the fourth quarter. Khamil Pierre knocked down a tough bucket to give State the lead for good with 49 seconds left, and that came just […]

They call this one the “defense is extremely optional” box score. Both teams played defense, in that they sent players onto the field to do stuff when they didn’t have the ball, but did they accomplish anything? No, no not really. Georgia Tech, for example, stopped just two of NC State’s 32 rushing attempts at […]

Game Summary: Lenovo was rocking! You could see the players smiling a little when the crowd got really loud during the intros. The starting lineup was Holloman, McNeil, Copeland, Williams and Lubin. It seemed like the team was a little nervous and needed Darrion Williams to get things going. And he understood the assignment. It […]

If you’d told me beforehand that Georgia Tech would punt only one time and NC State still would win by multiple scores, I’d have said, sir, this is some clearly crazy talk and please do not insult my intelligence in this manner. Yet somehow this is what happened. But NC State only punted twice itself, […]

For one week at least, NC State’s offense fulfilled its promise and poured it on a pretty good opponent—Georgia Tech picked a bad week to be Georgia Tech, since there was no getting out of the way. Though the Jackets tried. NC State scored at least 10 points in every quarter on Saturday night, and […]
