Hiring a coach who could win the ACC was the goal. Thank u Coach Keatts, staff and team for staying focused on the Prize. You persevered through 4 years of the โinheritedโ NCAA issue, through non selection when we were

in the NET, etc. PROUD of you!
To The few UNC fans trolling my site: 1.)Use your real name if u r going to troll. 2. )Reminder that State has won 9 of last 13 and 4 of last 6 games. 3.) U earned the win. Congrats. 4.) State fans r the best.
The issue is receiving only five hours notice. Earlier notice would have allowed a replacement to be selected, as the ncaa has a list of available 5-7 record teams, who just missed a bowl slot.
All, none of us fully understands yet what occurred. Please support our people with words of appreciation. The athletes, coaches, AD. Everyone. The situation is heart breaking. A number of valid questions yet to be addressed.But we r in this together.
No team has ever been better prepared than our menโs basketball team was for todayโs rivalry game at UNCCH on CBS. Thank u Coack Keatts and staff. What heart from our team. U played like Champions.

Proud of Wolfpack Nationโs passion tonight as we worked to beat

ranked Auburn. What an environment at PNC! Congrats to Coach Keatts, his staff and our team. Done on national TV too. Showed such persistence/will to win.
To all Wolfpack fans, thank u for faithfully attending games this season. Back to back 9-4 seasons is an important step, w last year being a Top 25 season. Understand your desire for more. 17 talented freshmen start school this week. Thanks, seniors.
The big picture is that our coach has been w us 18 months, not 15 years. He will build us a fine bball program, over time. The margins right now r thin and losing any player to injury makes a difference. KKIAW.
First year head coach Kevin Keatts has now beaten each of the ACC schools in NC as the Pack beats Wake Forest in WS, 90-84. What a bright future we have.
Coach Keatts and I spoke w the conference office at length this morning to express our concerns regarding a number of situations in the Ga Tech game.
We will also send video clips for their review and discussion w us. We believe our concerns were heard.
This is an appreciation tweet for
@BooCorrigan
and
@Fred_Demarest
. Thank you for searching for a replacement team. You were dealt an extremely unwelcome surprise. Whatever happens, you tried and those efforts are appreciated by many.
All respect to
@wolfpackwes
,staff and our team. Lost 3 starters and key reserve long ago, but got to Sweet Sixteen. Appreciate their spirit and determination.
The support shown to our menโs basketball team all season has been outstanding. Please know we have never taken that for granted. Your loyalty fuels the fire to improve. Time to thank our seniors, to recruit and to prepare for the first-ever 20 game ACC schedule in 19-20.
Soon to be new carousel in Gboro that athletics committed to years ago. Tuffy as a ride choice. Making the wolf sign. For little people to grow to love him early on in their lives

Appreciate u, WPN and friends. Proud to be your AD and to rep u each day. I am blessed w talented coaches and the hardest working team of administrators anywhere. Remember, progress is often not linear. Two steps forward, one step back. As Coach V said, "Never give up."
35 years ago today, Bill and I were married. He agreed to spend our honeymoon in Clovis, NM at an AAU Girls Bball tourney so I could recruit. (Donโt start) What a good man. Patient, smart and wise. My North Star.
It would be hard to fully express how far our menโs swim program has come under Coach Braden and staff... we were 8th in ACC. Now? 4peat ACC Champs. Just a different program.
If u have the time, we would sincerely appreciate support for our terrific womenโs basketball team this weekend at Reynolds. Hosting first and second round games of NCAA.
@SethDavisHoops
Also a fun fact: Strength of schedule is already included in the NET calculation, the primary evaluative tool to be used by the Committee. And NC State is

ACC officials have seen the double team/steal play, when a TO was indicated by an official, which negated the steal. They will stand by the explanation offered, that the Miami player in the double called a TO. As for us, we believe the video speaks for itself.
Remember Kyle Washington? Kind note received today. He is back at Cincy, working in menโs basketball. Such a focused individual. Will be a successful coach!
The day after: Congrats to Coach Moore and Coach Popolizio, their teams and staff for winning ACC Championships. Congrats also to AD Corrigan and the administrative staff. Lots of work goes on behind the scenes each day for all teams.
What a great confidence building win. On the road against a nationally ranked team. Way to go fellas. Wolfpack Nation appreciates the effort and courage it took to gut out the W.
Thank you, Chancellor Woodson, for hiring me in 2010. We share a vision of excellence, with integrity, for Wolfpack Sports. You made it possible for us to begin this journey. It started w you! (he does not tweet but he has email)

What a great day for Wolfpack Nation. One of the most impressive stats is simply beating Duke twice in 17 days. And what about coach Wes and our women? Neither team favored yet both teams won. Congrats to all!
While buying a floor lamp to replace one I broke (this is what can happen if I vacuum), the saleman said โSo r u still coachingโ?Always bittersweet to be mistaken as Kay. I just said โShe is my older sister. We look alot alike.โ Never told him she died 9 1/2 years ago.
I am grateful for todayโs outcome by the IARP. Sanctioned those thought to be responsible, while protecting the innocent. No scorched earth approach. Congrats to the entire NC State โteamโ, including attorneys and staff, for their diligence to pursue a fair outcome.
Most of u do not know them, but my right hand and left hand have been so important. Thanks
@Michael_Lipitz
for 18 years of partnership and

for 12. And especially these last 9 at State! Do all u can to support

State has won 9 of the 13 competitions w UNCCH this year. Gaining momentum. More work to be done. Stay focused. All done in the spirit of healthy competition.
Former Wolfpack football athlete Monty Nelson to graduate in May w a degree in Program Management. Will coach at Cardinal Gibbons. We will be pulling for his success as a coach and teacher.
I am cleaning. Saw this. 40. Years. Ago. March, 1980. Neither Kay nor I thought they should have matched nationally ranked # 9 against
#11
. But they did anyway.
โGirldadโ trending, as it should be in honor of those who lost their lives Sunday. Glad my Father was a โgirldadโ decades ago or Kay, Susan and I would never have had the athletic experiences we treasure so much.

@RealDanZak
You are an amazing coach and athlete. But you are 100% wrong about allowing biological
Males to compete in biological womenโs sports. No woman should ever lose an opportunity to compete because that biological male was taller, stronger or quicker. Period.
@espnVshow
I was coaching the UK women and taking an all star team to Europe in โ77. Before leaving, Coach Hall gave me $100 for personal expenses. (I was earning only $9,000). Two days later, he gave me another $100. When I protested, he Said โthis is from Mrs. Hall, not me.โSpecial.
Treasure found in old files today. (Yes, the purge continues). A handwritten note to me from Coach Valvano back in 1992 about my hiring Coach Charlie Spoonhour at Saint Louis U. Wow. Definitely a โkeeperโ. Brought back a flood of memories.
@DVNCallihan
We have 4,000 tickets for u. All others have been purchased by Wolfpack fans. Safe travel down South. Should be a great terrific game between two schools that love their football teams.
@PackMensBball
What a game plan and execution. Proud of all of u. WPN so appreciates how u repped them tonight. Fought hard. Refused to lose. First home game for Coach Keatts. A big W.
@PackMensBball
Thank u, Wolfpack Nation, for your undying passion and faith that we can build again a Championship program. Go Wolfpack Basketball, Coach Keatts and staff. A thing of beauty tonight. Know it is โ1 gameโ. Lots of work still ahead.

@rwwilmington
We will see his name mentioned for a number of vacancies over the next few years. It is the ultimate compliment. That said, we will continue to support his goals and dreams. They align with ours. All can be realized here at State. Time to build is all he needs.
My Dad thought womenโs sports should be getting more media attention. This was from the 50s-80s. He was relentless in contacting media to pay attention. Kay, Susan and I begged him to stop. It made zero difference. He just smiled.

Last time Kentucky women played at Reynolds Coliseum, 1980 AIAW postseason National Tournament, before joining the NCAA in 1981. This time, I am pulling for State as their AD, not coaching UK. All other times I wish UK success!

This was a moment when doctors, trainers, And EMS personnel worked seamlessly together, while others prayed. So grateful he appears to be out of danger now at the hospital.

Wolfpack has the best coach in ACC. But u knew that already, right? Lost 2 starters against a team that has beaten Louisville. And we still won. Such grit from our team.
Late yesterday at Elon U. Celebrating 50 years of athletics for women there. With Sandy Sykes, Susan Yow and Wanda Wilson Cline. We all played together on the 73-74 team, the
#1
ranked team in regional going into post season. Susan and Wanda were the stars.๐
