Even before three big basketball games were played, Wednesday was just about the craziest sports day in a long time in the Triangle.
And not a dang thing actually happened.
Raleigh's bid was eliminated from contention for the first round of MLS expansion, but wasn't really expected to be in that round anyway; the never-ending sale of the Carolina Hurricanes took a new turn, but isn't any closer to being completed; Dave Doeren's contract negotiations at N.C. State came crashing into public view, with rumors of interest elsewhere, but he's still the Wolfpack's coach (and is likely to be next season); and East Carolina scheduled an ominous last-minute press conference.
