OFFICIAL: Terquavion Smith is out of the hospital and listed as day-to-day

Published

on

Last night we posted some great news about Terquavion Smith’s health. And today we got some even better news.

It seems like he may have suffered a stinger since he experienced numbness in his arm. Whatever the diagnosis ends up being, the fact that he out of the hospital with no long-term injuries and no broken bones or torn ligaments is GREAT news for NC State, but even better news for Smith. The sophomore has been a great ambassador of the university, has shown immense loyalty, and is one of the best scorers to ever come through Raleigh. We are so thankful that this was the outcome and we look forward to seeing him on the court soon.

Unrelated but not… I keep thinking any day now we’ll hear some news on Dusan or even Clark for that matter, and any day turns into many days, then weeks, and before you know it, it’s March Madness and any day turns into any wonder whether we’ll see either one of them suit up again. Any news??? Anyone, anyone, anyone…

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad Terquavion is okay. Ecstatic. That fall was scary and after worrying about his own livelihood and health I then second guessed whether he should have come back for a second year at State. Anyway, glad he’s okay and most certainly glad he bleeds wolfpack red!

Some of us remember a HORRIBLE fall by David Thompson, who came back same night with a bandage that looked like a turban. Maybe this episode will have a similar, long-range outcome. Happy for you @tgetsbuckets.

As hard as that game was to watch, this news is so much better.
In Keatts’ world ‘day to day’ can take a while, but great news that there is nothing serious wrong.

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.

1950

1951

1974

1983

1985

1986

NC State is 1 of 4 Schools to Have Both Men & Women’s Basketball Teams in Sweet 16

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

1985
1989
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.
