ESPN’s Jeff Goodman just tweeted that Malik Abu is seriously thinking of moving on from NC State, which would be catastrophic. I am not sure what is going on with the program as it makes no sense as to why Abu would transfer…Sure I can see going to the NBA but is NC State that bad of a place that he would rather transfer and sit out a season? Then play one year and try and turn pro?

If Abu does indeed spur the NBA and decides to transfer then this is a red-flag as everything I know about Abu says that he is a great kid. At State he would be the focal point of the offense in the premier conference in the NCAA. He would also have solid guard play around him in Dennis Smith, Torin Dorn, and Terry Henderson. It just makes you wonder who is feeding these kids information…

We will have to wait and see if this report holds any weight moving forward.

Wolfer96 wolfpack74 Posting is a good way to get it out of your system.  Something does stink in Raleigh.

wolfpack74 After that crap of a season you think I was in any mood to post? All I needed to see was the 1st 10 games and I knew it would be a season worth forgetting. I was going to stay away until next season when DSJ would change my mood but then all the crap hitting the fan lately prompted me to post a bit prematurely.

Someone needs to tell Lou it might be time to jump.  Wolfer96, where have you been lately?

Rounder76 wolfpack74 When all your good employees leave, there is something wrong with the manager.  The manager gets replaced.

Someone explain to me why anyone would leave this team knowing that DSJ will be playing next season? Dennis is a kid that could average 25-30 and game but prefers to dish out 12 assists. Now who wouldn’t want to play with this phenomenal unselfish kid? There has to be a problem with the coach. That’s the only thing that makes sense. The twins got plenty of playtime, Abu got plenty of playtime, Maverick got tons of minutes. Even Anya got his share of minutes. Only one who could really complain was Shaun Kirk.

Something stinks in Raleigh.

Yow needs to step up her game because improving in non-revenue sports is nice and all but that don’t pay the bills. She better return her focus to FB and BB.

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?

Published

#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.

The Wolfpack will play #2 seed Stanford on Friday night at 7:30pm on ESPN in Portland.
