You’ve heard of ESPN the weekend….well, now I present NC State…the Weekend! In what was one of the best collective regular season weekends that the Pack has had in quite some time NC State piled up big victories and dominating performances all around.

First, and most obvious, the men’s basketball victory over the Hokies. I defer to Jeff for his excellent analysis, but quite simply it was 40 minutes of domination. Just when I start to wonder if a winning season is possible, the Pack does something great to renew the faith. But that was just the icing on the cake for the Wolfpack this weekend.

What a performance by the NC State basketball team this afternoon at the RBC Center. We took control early in the game a built a 12 point halftime lead. But that was no enough for the guys. They came out in the second half and built a 30 point lead with 11 minutes to go on the #25 Virginia Tech Hokies. From there we protected the ball and melted the clock away. The final margin was an impressive 25 point at 81-56. The Pack moves to 14-11 (4-8) on the season.

What a night for the Wolfpack Women!!! In the biggest game of the year, for many reasons, the Lady Pack came out firing and hung on for a 72-65 victory against #2 unc-ch in Reynolds Coliseum. First of all it was the last home game of the year. Six players played their last game in Reynolds tonight and they had a big impact on the game. Add to the energy of Senior Night the fact that we were playing #2 unc-ch and it becomes a huge game. And that is not all. Tonight it was announced that the court at Reynolds Coliseum will forever be known as Kay Yow Court. A very appropriate honor to someone who has done so much for the womens basketball program, NC State University, and breast cancer awareness. Now to the game:
