If the Wolfpack only needed one win to get in the NCAA tournament they got it Wednesday night out slugging Clemson 13-8. State's next ACC tournament game is Friday night against GeorgiaTech and if they win that they are in the Sunday finals. They still would have a game Saturday night against Virginia Tech.
Tar Heels liked what they saw today as in the opening game of the ACC Tournament Virginia beat Boston College. I think Carolina gets in the NCAA tournament by BC losing at least two of their three ACC Tournament games.
Who said Boston and LA were going to play in the NBA finals? Orlando won game five with Boston and now the pressure is really on Boston to win game six at home. The Celtics don't want to come back to Orlando again this year.
Lakers return home Thursday night for game five of the Western finals. That series with the Suns is tied 2-2 after the Suns played a zone defense and the Lakers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
If you have ever been to any sporting event at N C State then you would know that one of their cheers is when one side of the fans yells Wolf while the other side responds with Pack. Tonight Brooks who is working this week in Hatteras and I text back and forth Wolf--- Pack to get fired up for the game. It must have worked for the Pack. I know we sent 50 text back and forth while the game was going on.
Hunt High begins the Eastern 3-A final series Thursday night against Chapel Hill. What a year for the Big East. Southern Nash played in the East finals in football, Rocky Mount won the basketball and Hunt is still alive in baseball. The Big East is one of the strongest sports conferences in the state and Rocky Mount won the Conference Wachovia Cup as the best Athletic program in the Big East.
