NC State's men's basketball team was left for dead a mere week ago after they stumbled to yet another regular season loss in yet another disappointing year led by, according to many, yet another poor coaching hire by a school with a nearly two-decade history of hiring coaches not capable of leading the Wolfpack into the upper echelons of the ACC....

We don’t know anything. We’re the fans, we just know what we want. It’s clearly a lot harder to achieve the level of success that we think is possible at NC State than we know. And fair enough, right? One team wins, the rest lose. But what are we actually trying to accomplish here? We’re in year howevermany of justifying what a realistically successful program looks like and we’re no closer to defining it than we are to actually achieving it....

Perhaps that is a slight exaggeration, but it sure does feel like it. (Hell, it has been 2362 days since the last football post on SFN!) I cannot remember a season with more hype and expectation, and it's all deserved. Sports Illustrated has the Pack projected as the AP Preseason #11 team in the nation. Where NC State is right now: ...

No; it's not National BBQ Day. It seems to me that too many people have no idea what Memorial Day stands for or why it is important. It's always been my hope that by sharing details of a specific event that we would all gain a greater appreciation of what Lincoln meant when he said that "they gave the last full measure of devotion".

It's hard to believe that the regular season is already over. It's been a great ride so far and I never expected to be able to say that considering where State basketball was just one year ago. So let's get to it and start with reviewing the last week of the regular season. RPI TREND GRAPHS UVA had a thrilling win over L'ville with a last second three to get the victory. [ 940 more words ]

Ever since the ACC got too large to play a round-robin conference schedule, it was obvious to me that some teams would play a harder conference schedule while others would play easier ones. So I've made an effort to analyze the various conference schedules and pick out those teams with easy or hard schedules to see how the variations in schedule strength impacted the conference standings and NCAAT bids.
