Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.
It felt like Wes Moore was hinting at substantial changes after NC State’s tournament loss to Michigan, so I’ve been bracing for at least one major contributor to walk out the door—which is what happened Wednesday. Zam Jones is heading for the transfer portal. Reserve center Mallory Collier previously announced that she’s transferring as well. […]
As I’m writing this on Wednesday morning, signs are pointing rather strongly at Will Wade leaving NC State for LSU, which is a possibility that has been simmering behind the scenes for a while, but didn’t seem to feel real until Tuesday. Wade’s buyout, which is already low, drops to a paltry $3 million at […]
There’s an adage in developing young pitchers that says you pull them early to build confidence. NC State got a solid five-inning start from freshman LHP Luke Hemric on Tuesday, allowing just a single run over his first five frames – a run which probably shouldn’t have even scored if not for a misplay on […]
Campbell @ NC State | Tues, Mar 24 @ 6:00pm | ACCNX | Live Stats A red-hot Campbell squad that has won 10 of their last 12 games, including back-to-back midweek victories over Duke and Coastal Carolina last week, comes to Raleigh on Tuesday evening for a 6:00pm matchup with NC State. The Camels (14-9, […]
NC State concluded Sunday what was by its standards a disappointing season, one that all too often saw the Wolfpack struggle against the best teams on its schedule. NC State played 15 games against teams in the Torvik top-50 and lost 10 of them, six by double-figures. That’s just not good enough, and also highly […]
The consensus around college baseball heading into NC State’s ACC series at Florida State was that the Seminoles were the stronger team. For the first game and a half of the series, that was perspective was in question; however, by the time the dust settled on Sunday afternoon, it proved to be true – at […]
Transfer Portal Dates: 2026 Roster Construction Coach Wade did an interview talking about his plans for next year’s roster. Highlights: Looking at the current 15-man roster – plus the 2 committed recruits: Of the Potential 11 Remaining Players, Who Do You Want To Keep? *** Absolutely: Paul McNeil established himself as the best 3PT shooter […]
NC State managed to hang around for a half on Sunday afternoon, but winning a difficult road game without Zoe Brooks ultimately was just too much to ask. It’s overall quality aside, Michigan was about the worst possible matchup for a team missing a veteran guard—the Wolverines have thrived all year on forcing turnovers at […]
NC State’s NCAA tournament started about as well as possible, with the Pack making its first eight shots from the floor on the way to taking a 19-4 lead. Zoe Brooks and Zam Jones had the offense rolling in those first five minutes—Zam played with her hair on fire from the start and ended up […]
“Will Wade is made for the new era of college basketball” During the hiring process and shortly after, several pundits made the statement, “Will Wade is made for the new era of college basketball.” Most of us heard that and (possibly) chuckled thinking that it was because he started paying players before it became standard […]

NC State’s 2026 season ultimately was defined by the problems that it created for itself, often unnecessarily, and the wretched luck that brought them home with painful immediacy. All of this was encapsulated in an NCAA tournament loss that came on a tough mid-range jumper. A little too on the nose, if you ask me, […]
Season Summary: When asked after the game, Coach Wade said, “It was an disappointing ending to a disappointing season.” And I think that sums it up well for us all. He immediately spoke about needing to do a better job with next season’s roster and plans to go to work on it right away. Hopefully […]

Ranging from “Wade hasn’t shown me much”, to “I […]
NC State’s stay in the NCAA tournament begins both regrettably early and unpleasantly late, so at least we’ve got that going for us. The Wolfpack’s matchup against Texas in Dayton is slated for a 9:15(ish) p.m. ET start on Tuesday night, with television coverage by TruTV. We’ll have play-by-play man Brian Anderson attempting to wrangle […]
NC State played three tight games with Boston College over the weekend in Raleigh – even if that Saturday score ended up a bit lopsided – with the Wolfpack ultimately capturing the 2-1 series win in their ACC opener. Boston College’s conference record dropped to 3-3, and the Eagles now sit at 11-8 overall while […]
One of the many enjoyable things about the NCAA tournament is getting to see your school match up with teams it wouldn’t typically see; there’s a fresh-air aspect to the postseason that I really— Wait a minute. You said the women’s team is also getting a regular season rematch in the first round? For the […]
NC State is back in the NCAA tournament but is up against a brutal draw to reach the second weekend. Turns out the Wolfpack was one of the last four at-large teams in the field, putting it in Dayton along with its opponent, Texas, as well as SMU and Miami (OH). That’s a tad confusing, […]
NC State isn’t going to be sweating its inclusion in the NCAA tournament field come Sunday, but it will be sweating a trip to Dayton for the First Four. Beating Virginia yesterday would have solidified State’s status in the field proper, but instead its landing spot is a bit fluid. While the teams on the […]
