Trevor Lacey has signed on with the Cleveland Caviliers summer league squad that will take the floor in Vegas this upcoming July. Trevor has an inside track with Cleveland as he is represented by Rich Paul, the same agent who reps Lebron James. It is intresting that Lacey has signed with Cleveland. On the surface he could be a great fit with the Cavs.

Personally, I feel like he is an upgrade in many of the areas that Matthew Delladova is weak in. Lacey is a much more gifted offensive player than Delladova, and I believe he could improve dramatically defensively once he is solely focused on basketball. Trevor can bring some much needed scoring to the Cavs bench unit and playmaking ability that they lacked. If anyone watched the finals it was apparent that the Cavs need some life injected into their bench.

Summer league’s style of play definitely caters to Lacey’s strengths offensively. Many of the games have a pick-up vibe, because none of the players have ever played together. Also, having so many games in a short time frame doesn’t allow for much practice at all. However, we all know Trevor thrives when he has to improv and create. I can see Lacey having an impressive summer league that should catch a lot of people’s attention.

The biggest thing Lacey needs to show is that he is capable of playing the point guard position. He doesn’t have ideal size to play off the ball, so he must demonstrate he can set up his teammates. Trevor has talked extensively about this at the workouts with individual teams.  He said he prefers to set his teammates up and that it will not be an issue. As of right now, Lacey is a long shot to make a roster, but a successful showing this July could go a long ways in helping Trevor beat the odds!

He was long shot to make the NBA the moment he decided to declare early for the draft. Best wishes to him, but he’s got his work cut out for him.

An NC State Win Over Marquette in the Sweet 16 Would Be…

Published

on

Awesome. Obviously.

#11 seed NC State will play #2 seed Marquette tomorrow night in the Sweet 16. What would a win mean for the Wolfpack? Many things, but here’s just a few:

It would give NC State 25 wins on the year (25-14), which would be the most wins since 1982-83, when the Wolfpack went 26-10, winning the National Championship.

It would mark the 12th time in school history that NC State has won 25+ games in a single season.

1982-83 – 26-10 

1973-74 – 30-1 

1972-73 – 27-0 

1954-55 – 28-4 

1953-54 – 26-7

1952-53 – 26-6 

1950-51 – 30-7 

1949-50 – 27-6 

1948-49 – 25-8 

1947-48 – 29-3

1946-47- 26-5

It would be the 7th time NC State has advanced to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament.

Published

on

NC State is 1 of 4 schools to have their Men and Women’s Basketball teams BOTH advance to the Sweet 16, along with Duke, Gonzaga and UCONN.

NC State and Duke are the only two schools in the country to send both Basketball teams to the Sweet 16, and also send the Football team to a bowl game.

This marks only the third time in school history that BOTH teams made the Sweet 16.

Years NC State’s Men & Women’s Teams Made the Sweet 16

2024

Despite the fact that the Men’s team has made the Elite 8 six times (1950, 1951, 1974, 1983, 1985, 1986), and the Women have made it 2 times (1998 & 2022), in the three occasions they both went to the Sweet 16 in the same year, neither team advanced to the Elite 8.

In 2024, Why Not Us?

#3 seed NC State held on last night, defeating #6 seed Tennessee 79-72 in Reynolds Coliseum to advance to the Sweet 16 for the 5th time in the last 6 tournaments.

The Wolfpack led by only 1 after the 1st Quarter, but they looked like they had things under control at halftime, leading by 18 points.

At one point, NC State led by as much as 20 points in the 3rd Quarter, but the Lady Volunteers weren’t about to give up.

With 4:19 left in the 4th, Tennessee cut the lead to 2 points, but NC State might have bent, but they wouldn’t break.

Junior Guard Aziaha James led the way with 22 points and 7 assists, which were both team highs. She scored 7 points in the final 3.5 minutes, helping to squash tue Last Vols’ comeback attempt.

Junior Guard Saniya Rivers had 20 points (6-14 FG) and 6 boards.

Freshman Zoe Brooks was clutch off the bench, chipping in 16 points and 6 boards.

This marks the 16th time the NC State Women’s Basketball team has advanced to the Sweet 16.
