Is it too early to be excited about NC State Hoops?

Not to insult all the football guys out there, but I'm not one of them. Hopefully we'll have plenty of great ACC football stories in the coming months, but it seems like it has been a year since State's loss to WV, Duke's weak VCU exit, Carolina breaking our hearts against GTown, and Wake's, uh..., well nevermind about Wake.

State fans are getting excited about the upcoming basketball season. Hopefully the off-court issues with Sid's son won't be too distracting from what should be huge optimism in the Pack community. If you aren't excited yet, hopefully incoming freshman JJ Hickson will get you fired up.
