Media had some fun poking at @DukeMBB coach Jon Scheyer today. Backstory: as a Cubs fan, he was jokingly distracted a while back at one of his pressers by a White Sox hat. So today, most of us came with hats repping Cardinals, Mets, Red Sox, Orioles, etc. This was his reaction.😂

⚪️ WHITE OUT!!! ⚪️ Turns out @Verizon can hear you now! We’ll save the blue shirts for another game… but tomorrow, we WEAR WHITE!!!

If Clemson loses to FSU on Saturday night, it will mark the program's 7th straight home loss to a Power Conference foe. If that happens, it will tie for the longest such losing streak in Clemson Football history (1907-1917)

Eric Robinson out here in a yellow, non-contact jersey. His first time back on the ice with the main group since his injury in Colorado.


We're not far off from Duke-Texas tonight in the Dick Vitale Invitational in Charlotte. Some pregame reading on Dickie V's fight back from cancer and the importance of Tuesday night:

(AP) College basketball season has arrived and ESPN broadcasting icon @DickieV is again ready at the sport's starting line. After his return late last season from a cancer fight, he'll call Tuesday's Duke-Texas game in the new event named in his honor: apnews.com/article/espn-d…



(AP) Khamil Pierre had a big debut with NC State, while Zamareya Jones had a huge fourth quarter to help the 9th-ranked Wolfpack edge No. 8 Tennessee 80-77 in Tuesday's opener. apnews.com/article/nc-sta…


Final: No. 9 NC State 80, No. 8 Tennessee 77.


No. 9 NC State up 69-67 on No. 8 Tennessee with 4:58 left. Rough 4th for both: State is 2 for 12, UT is 2 for 9.


End of 3: No. 9 NC State 63, No. 8 Tennessee 62.


Key note here: NC State has made its last five shots. The first four of that burst were all on assists before Lunan's layup in transition. Taking care of the ball, sharing it, doing a better job against pressure looks.

NC State with an 11-0 run, part of a 16-2 burst, to push in front on Tennessee 58-50. Pack is 8 of 12 midway through 3Q

Halftime in Greensboro: No. 8 Tennessee 44, No. 9 NC State 40. Lady Vols took control in Q2, made 9 of 20 shots compared to 5 of 18 for the Pack. Tennessee also converted five turnovers into nine points off turnovers in the period.


Plenty of offense in Greensboro so far... No. 9 NC State leads No. 8 Tennessee 21-17 late 1st... Pack's Tilda Trygger with 9 points (including a 3) to go with 2 rebounds, an assist and a block.


Checking in from Greensboro... We've got No. 8 Tennessee and No. 9 NC State set to open the season at 4. Wolfpack playing two home-state games against ranked nonconference foes to open the year, the other coming Sunday against No. 18 USC in Charlotte.


WW's crew brought it. So did he.

A night to remember in Lenovo. Combined effort on all fronts. Appreciate everyone who came out and made it special. The atmosphere was phenomenal. The Pack is Back!

In 2020, there was a time our hotels were closed and guests couldn't visit. Back then, our idea was since folks couldn't visit Pinehurst, we'd try to bring a little Pinehurst to them, wherever you are. So we shared The Sounds of Pinehurst:

Final: NC State 48, No. 8 Georgia Tech 36. Duke Scott with a career-best 196 yards rushing for State. Tech's first loss after 1st 8-0 start since 1966. Pack's first win vs T10 foe since Sept 2021. Huge win for Dave Doeren's bunch, fans storming the field at Carter-Finley.
