Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn't an activity worth watching. See if "basketball" lives up to the hype with today's Groupon to NC State Wolfpack Men's or Women's basketball. Choose one of the following options:

• For $15, you get two tickets to the Saturday, November 27 men's game against Fairleigh Dickinson at 6 p.m. in the RBC Center(a $30 value).
• For $15, you get two tickets to the Saturday, January 1 men's game against San Diego at noon in the RBC Center (a $30 value).
• For $80, you get two general admission season tickets for all NC State Women's Basketball home games in Reynolds Coliseum (a $200 value).

Cheer the Wolfpack as they go to battle during fast-paced basketballing that provides all the passion and high-flying action of professional mountaineering without any of the synchronized yodeling. Seating for these games is handled on a first-come, first-served basis, so redeem your Groupon at the NC State ticket office as soon as possible. (single-game men's tickets must be picked up at least one day prior to the game). Join thousands of other boys and girls crying Wolf as they howl over the rim-rocking excitement of big-time college hoops.
