Boo Corrigan: Your Support Makes the Difference

Published

on

Dear Friends of NC State Athletics –

It’s an exciting time to be a part of Wolfpack Nation! Men’s basketball just made a historic run to win the ACC Championship and is on the road to the NCAA Tournament this weekend. Our women’s team is a No. 3 seed and is hosting three other teams at Reynolds Coliseum for the first and second rounds. Our ACC champion wrestling and men’s swimming teams, as well as our women’s swimming squad, are headed to nationals, while our gymnastics team – which won the regular-season conference title – will compete for the tournament crown this weekend as well. Seven of our teams that are currently in competition are ranked in the top 20, with four in the top 10.

The success of our student-athletes and teams begins with the support of you – our fans and donors. Part of that success and support now includes One Pack Collective, the official collective of NC State Student-Athletes. One Pack creates an avenue for Wolfpack Nation to directly support the NIL efforts of NC State student-athletes, over and above the support that the Wolfpack Club provides for the scholarship and facility needs of our department.

After the win over UNC, Coach Doeren said “We need 5,000 people to give $1,000.” While we are always interested in talking about larger gifts, this is your opportunity to help us continue to compete at the highest level, no matter the contribution amount. Whether it’s $1,000 a year or $100, the stakes and competition are high. Your support will have a positive impact on our student-athletes and is the foundation for the continued success of NC State Athletics.

Your support of the Wolfpack Club and One Pack is vital for our success. In today’s landscape of collegiate athletics, scholarships, facilities, and NIL support are all necessary to stay competitive and to provide a world-class environment. We understand there are now more options than ever to support NC State and its Student-Athletes. Please know that regardless of whether you choose to support One Pack Collective, the Wolfpack Club, or both, your dollars are going to support the success of our student-athletes. Below are links that take you directly to support both organizations.

In keeping with the comments from Dof87 and trying to be respectful, what do you say to the AD when he comes out and starts the begging process? Considering that I do not agree with the approach allowed by the NCAA with the NIL and unlimited transfer rules, I will be respectful and say: Thanks for the invitation, but no thanks.

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.

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.
