The Duke–North Carolina rivalry in basketball is one of the biggest in all of sports at any level. Highlighted by two premier college basketball programs that are just 10 miles apart with history against one another that dates back to 1920. You’ll never catch a Duke fan rooting for the Tar Heels and vice versa, but one North Carolina player found himself rooting for the Blue Devils in some strange circumstances during last year’s NCAA Tournament. NC State went on a historic postseason run last year that took them all the way to the Final Four. Which included an ACC Tournament Championship win ...

What’s this? Didn’t former Steelers coach Bill Cowher believe it was anathema to say nice things about rookies? Maybe he’s mellowed. Because he definitely is gushing about a certain first-year linebacker. Cowher really likes Payton Wilson, the Steelers third-round selection from April’s NFL Draft. It might be because he’s met the kid. Or he likes the tough way he plays. And it probably helps that the two are a couple of NC State guys. Wilson might’ve gone earlier in the draft if not for a couple of major knee injuries, then one to the shoulder. But he held together in 2023, enough so to win th...

The NC State Wolfpack is on the hunt for its first conference title since 1979. In May, ESPN’s Greg McElroy weighed in on the program’s chances of achieving this lofty goal. “FSU, Miami and Clemson—I think they’re the top three teams in the ACC,” McElroy said. “Then, I do think there is a little bit of a gap, but that gap just behind those three might be as dangerous as you’ll find, depending on how things might work out. NC State is very much in that grouping. “Maybe they’re at the top end of that grouping. Maybe they’re at the bottom end of that group. But there’s four or five teams that I t...

Over on his YouTube show, Always College Football, ESPN analyst Greg McElroy pitted NC State and Louisville against one another, trying to evaluate which of the ACC teams he likes better heading into 2024. The Wolfpack and Cardinals enjoyed stormy Friday night drama last season, with Louisville going into Raleigh and securing a 13-10 amid some of the most challenging weather of any game throughout the whole college football season. Heading into 2024, though, McElroy has NC State getting back on top. “At the moment I would lean slightly in favor of NC State. But it’s a tossup right now,” said M...
