Tough loss for the basketball team tonight in Chapel Hill and best wishes to Coach Lowe to get better. It sounds like he was just taken to the hospital for fluids and precautions, so hopefully he will be back on his feet soon.

But, wanted to share some good Pack news today. The baseball squad earned a tight win over NC A&T 5-3. Freshman Sam Brown and a host of other pitchers got their first action on the hill, but probably most importantly Eryk McConnell got put in a typical 9th inning save situation with the game on the line and came through for save #2.

Looking ahead to the weekend the Pack gets their first real tests……..

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.

Pack fans, it’s about 20 degress outside, so that can only mean one thing….time for baseball! And this year it’s time for extreme optimism. I’m going on record right now saying that this is the year that NC State breaks their 39 year drought and returns to Omaha for the College World Series (Last trip in 1968).
