NC State At The Halfway Point Part II
Now for a look at the defense, right before the schedule gets a lot more difficult. The numbers are from conference games only, and the ranks in parentheses are conference ranks, not national ranks. (Alas.) State's defense has done a solid job this season, though of course the schedule to this...
NC State Basketball At The Halfway Point Part I
We're at the midpoint of conference play, so it's a good time to take a look at what the Wolfpack has done up until now, and how that compares to what happened last year. Sure, we know it's less bad, but how much less bad? All numbers in this post include conference games only. Offense Tempo...

Boston College Part II
Since their surprising 2-1 start to league play, the Eagles have lost four in a row, and they've still yet to come close to cracking a point per possession in seven games. When State met them in Raleigh, they were pretty much as advertised: they didn't rebound or shoot well, and they turned the...
Richard Howell Could Break Single-Season Foul Record
As Lionel Hutz would say, there are records [smiles while nodding] and there are records [shakes head, makes frowny face]. Richard Howell is on pace for one of the latter, unfortunately, since he cannot seem to avoid fouling everyone. As Stephen Schramm points out, Howell has 73 fouls this season,...

The NC State-North Carolina Friendship Through The Years
Yes, folks, it's about time for the first of two annual appointments between the two amicable neighbors otherwise known as North Carolina and NC State. I'm not sure how many smiles and high fives we can expect in Chapel Hill on Thursday, but I'd expect plenty. Certainly we will see the "GOOD...
So You Want To Go Up-Tempo (Part XV)
When Mark Gottfried took the NC State job, he said what a lot of new coaches say at the beginning. "We do like to run," he said Tuesday at his introductory news conference. "We would like to play up-tempo. I'm not a guy who likes to play in the 40s and 50s. I'm a guy who likes to push the ball...
NC State Basketball RPI Update 1/23
Florida State is the big winner in the ACC this week, not surprisingly; the Noles moved up 25 spots to No. 23 following their big win in Durham. NC State moved up three spots to No. 55, and in not-so-good news, Virginia plummeted out of the top 50 after losing at home to Virginia Tech. I don't care...
