After NC State clinched a series victory over UNC last night in Baseball, I thought it would be a good time to relish in how the Wolfpack has dominated the Tar Heels Athletic Program as a whole in 2023-24.
The Wolfpack Baseball team has won the first two games in the series against the Tar Heels, clinching a series victory over UNC for the first time since 2021. It marks the first time NC State has won a series against the Tar Heels in Raleigh since 2016.
NC State defeated UNC in Volleyball 3-1, winning in Chapel Hill for the first time in 25 years. The Tar Heels had won the last 5 matches against the Wolfpack.
The Wolfpack defeated the Tar Heels 39-20 in Football in Carter-Finley Stadium. It marked the 3rd consecutive win over UNC.
NC State lost both regular season games to UNC in Men’s Basketball, but when it mattered most, the Wolfpack defeated the Tar Heels in the ACC Championship Game 84-76, winning their first title since 1987.
The Wolfpack Women’s Basketball team lost to their rival in Chapel Hill, but defeated UNC 63-59 in Reynolds Coliseum. NC State has won 5 of the last 7 against UNC.
In Gymnastics, NC State defeated UNC 196.725-194.925 in Raleigh. This marked the 3rd straight victory for the Wolfpack over the Tar Heels.
NC State’s Men & Women’s Swimming & Diving teams both beat UNC. The Men won 258-93, and the Women won 196-157.
The Wolfpack Wrestling team defeated UNC 33-6 in Reynolds Coliseum. NC State has won 11 straight Duals against the Tar Heels.
The NC State Men’s Tennis team defeated UNC 4-0, winning against their rival in back-to-back years.
The Wolfpack Women’s Tennis team has defeated the Tar Heels 4-3 on two occasions thus far this season, and will face their rival again today.
The Cross Country teams didn’t have individual meets against UNC, but the Women obviously beat them, because they won the ACC Championship. The Men didn’t, finishing 8th in the Conference, with the Tar Heels finishing 1st.
The only other NC State athletic team that didn’t taste victory against UNC this year was the Women’s Soccer team, losing 0-4 in Raleigh.
Of course, each of these NC State athletic teams has much higher goals than just beating their rival, but there’s no denying how sweet it is to beat the Tar Heels.
I agree! Also could we have K Wash back and give Cincinnati Beejay lol
I agree, whoever coaches up our bigs needs to go back to basic fundamentals. They all take way to long to gather themselves when they get the ball for open lay ups inside. Rather than putting the ball on the floor go strait up. Also why does Anya not dunk the ball anymore? Last year he lead the team in dunks now we are lucky if he gets one dunk a game. Coach Got says his hands are two big to shoot free throws, why can’t he dunk the ball with authority with one hand? He is so soft for… Read more »
Play Kirk more. He seemed a lot more calm last night and played pretty good. Rowan is lazy and seldom in the right location. Play Kirk.
Packalltheway You forget to include Freeman. He should never be in the game when the other team starts to press. He is an instant turnover when the ball hits his hands. 3.9 points/game and you get a college scholarship. Unbelievable.
All the players seem to be improving their games except for Beejay Anya. Very limited on offense and gets himself out of rebounding position all the time with trying to block every shot. His game as actually regressed over the years. Maverick needs to see less minutes he is a defensive liability especially when he is not hitting shots. Those are two factors that seem to play into factor during close games.
Fix the title, Tyler dude. You can’t misspell the name of your own team! 🙂
