That 1994-95 Duke team finished with 18 losses, the most in school history, and since then, the Blue Devils have dominated the Wolfpack. N.C. State may have fallen behind Duke and UNC (and maybe Wake Forest) in the state’s…

For the past three months, I’ve remained silent on this issue, foolishly thinking, hoping, that the NCAA would right their clear-as-day mistake and fix college basketball. But no.
