Tudor: Wolfpack's growl worse than its bite

Posted Feb 1, 2009
That old saying that the growl normally is worse than the bite applies perfectly to the North Carolina vs. N.C. State basketball series these days. The Tar Heels' 93-76 win on Saturday in the RBC Center was only the latest example of that fact. State still wants to flash its teeth when the light blue and white pop up in the building. But that doesn't change the fact that the Wolfpack is still all show and no go. The Pack just isn't very good yet. (Raleigh News & Observer)
