After starting the season with high expectations, the men’s basketball team greatly underachieved in the 2010-11 season. The Wolfpack brought in a top 10 recruiting class and was projected by many college basketball analysts to finish as high as 3rd in the ACC. As the season progressed the team came unraveled. The players had problems meshing and playing with the heart and soul needed to win games. The Pack finished the season tied for 10th place in the ACC with a conference record of 5-11 and a final record of 15-16. All of this cumulated in the resignation of coach Sidney Lowe after a 5-year tenure with the Pack. Because the team had such high expectations and talent level and never reached its full potential, the Men’s basketball team receives a D for the 2010-2011 season.
