When you get a group of former NC State basketball players together, you will hear them describe themselves as a tight-knit group.  No matter if the players played in different decades, they will tell you that they are a part of a huge family.  The phrase “keeping it all in the family” has become a staple in our culture, and the Wolfpack basketball players have taken it to heart.  Currently, former NC State basketball player Jamie Knox is the agent representing 10 former Wolfpack players (Josh Powell, Marcus Melvin, Gavin Grant, Dennis Horner, Farnold Degand, Anthony Grundy, Clifford Crawford, Cameron...

COACH LOWE “I thought it was a great effort by our guys, as far as really hanging in there mentally and fighting and battling till the last basket by Tracy.” “In the locker room we talk about the ‘Loose Ball War.’ When you get lost balls, a lot of the time your going to score.” “We showed great mental toughness and focus.

JULIUS MAYS TALKS TO PACK INSIDER PI: What is the difference between last year this time, and this year? JM: I feel a lot more confident in myself and my teammates.

No comments
Last Thursday we had the chance to catch up with NC State Senior Dennis Horner. Last year Dennis posted career highs in minutes (18.9), points (6.4), rebounds (2.8), assists (1.2) and assist/turnover ratio (2.0). Here’s how our conversation went with one of the Pack’s most improved players last season: WPH: Dennis, you showed drastic improvement in your shooting percentage last season in pretty much every category.

NC State Rides Wood in Victory Over Wake 87-76

NC State 87 – Wake Forest 76 Boxscore  GAME RECAP NC State used a red hot Scott Wood (23 points) and solid performances from the rest of their starting five to out-gun the Demon Deacons 87.76. It was a true game of runs with Wake striking first thanks to Chase Fischer and Travis McKie doing damage early , but NC State stormed back using Woods hot hand. That had the Pack in it midway through the second half, but it wasn’t until late in the first that State really made their move and it wasn’t until midway through the second that they really got out to a sizable lead. State managed just 2 points off their bench and finished with a close rebounding margain but got very solid play from all 5 of their starters, limited the turnovers and got out on the break where they can be devastating. KEY STATS Wake played well tonight. They shot 50% from the field, 58% from 3 was only out-rebounded by three, but it wasn’t enough as State racked up 19 assists to only 9 turnovers as a team and turned that into 19 fast break points (to Wake’s 4). Player wise you have to look…
