Drake Thomas beats Drake Maye again
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 […]

NC State rolls past FSU, 83-55
Zam Jones made sure that NC State would quickly put its frustrating effort against UNC behind it by scoring the Pack’s first 12 points against FSU. She canned two threes, scored a traditional three-point play, and also made three free throws after getting fouled behind the arc. That effort staked the Pack with a healthy […]

You can’t wear that on television
If you missed it last week, Will Wade accidentally caused a modest kerfuffle with some remarks he made during his radio show. He mentioned that he isn’t allowed to wear apparel with the slobbering wolf on it—like anyone else he’s disappointed he can’t don the school’s best logo—and also said that his decision to wear […]
