Tough night. No way around it. NC State took a hard loss on the road at Louisville, and emotions are running high across Wolfpack Nation. In this episode of Packin' With Gary, I react to the blowout, talk through what went wrong, and — more importantly — explain why this game doesn't change the bigger picture for this team. We break down: Why this loss looks worse than it actually is The difference between a bad night and a bad team Why road games like this happen in college basketball Why the Pack is still in a strong position moving forward And why fans shouldn't jump off the bandwagon after one rough result This is about perspective, patience, and staying locked in when things don't go perfectly. Every season has moments like this — what matters is how the team and the fanbase respond. 👇 Sound off in the comments: Are you staying with the Pack, or did this one shake your confidence? 🔔 Subscribe to Packin' With Gary for NC State basketball reactions, mindset talks, previews, and real Wolfpack conversation — win or lose. #PackinWithGary #GoPack #NCState #WolfpackBasketball #CollegeBasketball #ACC #NCStateBasketball #Louisville #PostgameReaction

NC State just went on the road, took down SMU, and stayed undefeated away from Raleigh — yet Wolfpack fans still aren't fully sold. After listening closely to Will Wade's comments on his radio show following the SMU win, I break down what he said, what he really meant, and why this moment feels different for this NC State team. This isn't just about another win — it's about mindset, trust, and whether this fanbase is finally ready to believe. In this video, we cover: Will Wade's post-SMU mindset and message Why NC State fans remain skeptical despite winning What feels different about this team right now Whether this road success is sustainable The mental hurdle Wolfpack fans can't seem to clear Wolfpack fans have been burned before — so the hesitation makes sense.
