Kind of love everything Indy is doing thus far this offseason.

Rarely see a Wes Moore team go to pieces like this. And Duke is really talented and well coached.

Welp. This may not go down as a banner day for NC State basketball.

Disastrous third quarter for State. Too much hero ball and poor communication on defense.

Small rotation from Wes Moore today. Fatigue may be setting in for the Wolfpack.

Uncustomary collapse here for NC State, as they fall into the trap of playing Duke’s game.

More defensive breakdowns than usual for Wes Moore's club as State holds a seven-point halftime lead over Duke. The Pack will need a little more discipline to take home their fourth conference title in six seasons.

Spring training for the Mets has customarily brought a flurry of critical injuries. Trust this is something that franchise is constantly evaluating.

You can never expect a nuanced take from the national sports media, but those with a working knowledge of the ACC and the area know that this was the third time Keatts was on the verge of losing his job. The Final Four run was the extreme outlier and not enough to erase the overall mediocrity.

MIldly surprising news here considering last year's miracle run. However, the body of work, lack of adaptability, and changing landscape of the sport made this a matter of when, not if. Wish Keatts well in whatever comes next and optimistic about State's candidates going forward.

NARRATOR: It wasn’t, in fact, sustainable.

The degree of difficulty on the majority of these UNC shots is through the roof. You wouldn’t think that’s sustainable, but it’s been pretty consistent throughout this one.

Will be interested to see if this level of physicality by UNC is allowed in the second half. Thought the refs got swept up in the crowd a bit.

When you’re hammering teams by 30, some of the game-management nuances escape you. Scheyer waited entirely too long for that timeout.

James brings an element of physicality that Duke has been lacking in recent years. Really underreported addition for them this year.

Keatts should follow the example of a couple of coaches who have given back part of their salary to put toward NIL efforts after a dismal season. Unacceptable job by he and his staff this year.

Fitting to cap State’s season by blowing a late lead as Keatts looks on with a confused look.

The Pack dispatched UNC with relative ease. Guess the Heels needed one more official and a bigger gym. GTHC.

Because of the bad whistle, the Pack has really struggled to find a rhythm here. Weird game.

Foul count is now 10-1 in UNC’s favor. Embarrassing showing by this crew.

Crowd erupts as UNC is finally called for a foul.

NC State slowing the game down entirely too much. Not attacking UNC pressure is keeping the Heels in the game.

Foul count is 6 on State, 0 on UNC. The Pack starting to lose some composure with under 5 to play.

Refs respond with 4 fouls called on State to zero on UNC to start the fourth. Incensed Wes Moore urges on the booing crowd.

Brooks, James, and Rivers are a combined 9 for 27 and State still with a sizeable lead. Speaks volumes for the Wolfpack’s depth.

Strong third quarter puts the Pack up 17 headed into the fourth.

Truly awful officiating for an ACC Tournament game. The moment deserves better.

Really poor end of the half for a Pack team that isn’t showing much energy. State ahead at the half but needs a much better effort to close this out.

The Wolfpack is getting beaten to a lot of loose balls. Never a great sign.

State putting on a clinic defensively vs. UNC. Offense is a little disjointed, but the Pack in full control.

Nikola Jokic has the NBA's first ever 30/20/20 game

NC State basketball 2024-25.

Dear friend, Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation" Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

Always good to win on Senior Night. Good on ya, Pack.

Clearly all opponents need to do is dribble near Middlebrooks, throw themselves on the ground, and go straight to the free-throw line.

Clear flagrant foul there but hard to imagine these officials getting that right.

Make that 13 fouls in just over 8 minutes.

After calling 10 total fouls in the entire first half, the refs have whistled 10 in 6 minutes of the second. Welcome to the ACC.

State pushes the lead to 11 and the refs quickly respond with four quick fouls on the Wolfpack.

Surprising amount of energy for the Wolfpack. Good to see in the final moments of a lost season.

Wes Moore just out here single-handedly salvaging revenue sports for State.

Hard to imagine a scenario where Keatts isn’t fired a year from now. He’s threaded the needle before but this feels unrecoverable.

There are some dudes out there who should not play another minute this season. They’re pretty easy to spot.

Two bad teams and three bad officials. This is ACC 2025.

Keatts: We’d like to speed GT up since they have very little depth. Also Keatts: Let’s not pressure the basketball at all nor play Dennis Parker.
