Pack Pride - The NC State Wolfpack Podcast

On Thursday night in Louisville, NC State started off shooting well, then kept just that all game long. Terquavion Smith, Dereon Seabron and Jericole Hellems shot a combined 22-of-32 for 58 points in a blowout win in the KFC Yum! Center.

Cory and Miles break down the performances of the "Big 3" for NC State, Ernest Ross' impact in the post, the struggles for the bench continuing and how big this win has the potential to be for the Pack.

When it comes to rising stars in the sports industry, NC State alum Ari Chambers is near the top of the list. One of the top analysts championing women's sports joins us to discuss the state of the industry, NC State women's basketball, her love of the Pack and more!

On the second segment, James and Cory break down the last week for NC State, including the up-and-down week for men's hoops, dominance from women's hoops and ranked win for wrestling.

For the third straight home game, the Wolfpack came away with a loss in frustrating fashion in a 70-65 loss to Clemson. Miles and Cory breakdown the loss, Dereon Seabron's big game and more on the Postgame Podcast.

How much did the play inside -- on both sides of the court -- decide the outcome? What happened to Terquavion Smith after a string of great starts? Where does the Pack go from here after dropping to 0-3 at home in ACC play with two tough road games coming up?

NC State went into Blacksburg and not only held a lead for the majority of the night, but also closed it out finally. The Wolfpack notched a 68-63 win over Virginia Tech -- KenPom's No. 24 team in the country -- to snap a five-game losing streak.

What does a win like this do for the confidence of the entire team? How huge were the performances from Dereon Seabron, Terquavion Smith and Jericole Hellems? Did we see a glimpse of Ernest Ross' potential? How close is this team to breaking through for real?

After taking a week off, James and Cory are joined by record-setting NC State wideout Emeka Emezie on this week's podcast! Emezie discusses his career with the Wolfpack, training for the NFL Draft, the Holiday Bowl cancellation and more.

In the second segment, the guys breakdown the struggles for the men's basketball team, what to expect in Blacksburg tonight and preview the rest of the week for men's and women's hoops.
