What to Know
The North Carolina State Wolfpack will head out on the road to face off against the Ole Miss Rebels at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. North Carolina State knows how to get points on the board — the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past four matches — so hopefully Ole Miss likes a good challenge.
North Carolina State pushed their score all the way to 86 on Friday, but even that wasn’t enough to win. They fell 95-86 to the Cougars. Despite running the score up even higher than they did on Thursday (84), North Carolina State still had to take the loss.
Despite their loss, North Carolina State saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Casey Morsell, who scored 28 points along with 6 rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. DJ Burns Jr. was another key contributor, scoring 16 points along with 7 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They pulled ahead with a 77-76 photo finish over the Owls.
Ole Miss can attribute much of their success to Allen Flanigan, who scored 26 points along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Their wins bumped the Wolfpack to 4-1 and the Cougars to 6-0.
While only Ole Miss took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking forward, they are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a five-game streak of failing to cover when expected to win.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: North Carolina State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 35.8 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Ole Miss struggles in that department as they’ve been even better at 36 per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Tropical Storm Debby: ‘Historic,’ ‘catastrophic’ flooding possible on South Carolina coast
![Tropical Storm Debby: ‘Historic,’ ‘catastrophic’ flooding possible on South Carolina coast Tropical Storm Debby: ‘Historic,’ ‘catastrophic’ flooding possible on South Carolina coast](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2024/08/04/PASH/74666697007-sunday-cone.png?auto=webp&crop=896,504,x0,y0&format=pjpg&width=1200)
Tropical Storm Debby closing in on Florida, hurricane warnings issued
Strong winds and rain batter coastal Florida as Tropical Storm Debby intensifies
Tropical Storm Debby, in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday afternoon and headed toward the Big Bend area of Florida, is forecast to impact parts of South Carolina and North Carolina this week. Alerts have been issued for the storm that could bring potentially historic rainfall, rough surf and flooding to these regions.
At 2 p.m. Sunday, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory for Tropical Storm Debby, noting that it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall Monday morning. Debby is expected to move slowly across northern Florida and into southern Georgia before moving into the Atlantic Ocean and up the coast.
The cone that shows the storm’s probable path includes much of S.C. However, many variables remain, including the strength of the still-developing storm and its exact eventual path.

What can we expect in South Carolina?
The Hurricane Center’s forecast shows the center of the storm reaching South Carolina by about 8 p.m. Tuesday. But effects like heavy rain could start as early as Monday night.
Rainfall along the coast is expected to be the main concern. The S.C. coast from the southern part of the state past the Charleston area could see 16-20 inches of rain, with local amounts of up to 30 inches. That will likely result in “considerable” flash and urban flooding, and some river flooding is possible, the Hurricane Center said.
“Heavy rainfall will likely result in considerable flooding impacts from the Florida Big Bend region through southeast Georgia and the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas through Friday,” the Hurricane Center said. “Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and South Carolina through Friday morning may result in areas of catastrophic flooding. Significant river flooding is also expected.”
The likelihood of storm surges creates a life-threatening situation, the Hurricane Center said. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.
Rain of about 1-4 inches is forecast for parts of the Upstate.
What watches and warnings are in effect in South Carolina?
A flood watch is in effect from 2 a.m. Monday through Friday morning for southeast South Carolina, including Allendale, Beaufort, Charleston, Coastal Colleton, Coastal Jasper, Dorchester, Hampton, Inland Berkeley, Inland Colleton, Inland Jasper and Tidal Berkeley.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for Charleston, McClellanville and Edisto Island. The forecast calls for winds of 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.
A storm surge watch is in effect beginning Monday afternoon for Charleston, McClellanville and Edisto Island, with a potential of 2-4 feet above ground.
What other watches and warnings are in effect?
As of Sunday afternoon the depression was about 125 miles west-southwest of Tampa, Florida.
- A hurricane warning is in effect for Florida coast from the Suwannee River to the Ochlockonee River.
- A hurricane watch is in effect for the Florida coast west of the Ochlockonee River to Indian Pass * Florida coast south of the Suwannee River to Yankeetown.
- A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Dry Tortugas, the Florida coast south of the Suwannee River to East Cape Sable and the Florida coast west of the Ochlockonee River to Indian Pass.
- A tropical storm watch is in effect for the Florida coast west of Indian Pass to Mexico Beach, and the Georgia and South Carolina coast from the Mouth of the St. Mary’s River to South Santee River South Carolina.
- A storm surge warning is in effect for the Florida coast from the middle of Longboat Key northward to Indian Pass including Tampa Bay.

On social media, NC Zoo wrote Friday:
“Throughout our history, we’ve been home to a diverse array of remarkable animals, dedicated keepers, and passionate employees who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Join us in honoring this milestone by visiting the Zoo in 2024!”
The Zoo also mentioned the Zoo’s first animals, which were two Galapagos tortoises named Tort and Retort.
The post said in part: “These two tortoises symbolize the early days of the North Carolina Zoo and are cherished deeply in our hearts.”

NC has some of the most dangerous roads in the US: See how Wilmington-area counties rank
With a recent study revealing North Carolina as one of the states with the riskiest roads to travel, some may wonder how safe the roads are here in the Cape Fear region.
MarketWatch Guides, a site that provides “reviews of consumer products and services to help readers make educated purchasing decisions,” focuses in part on car insurance comparisons, vehicle safety and more.
A recent study by the site analyzed factors including annual miles driven per 100,000 system miles, percentage of rough roads and fatal injuries per 100,000 licensed drivers. States were given a rating out of 10 points, with 10 being the most dangerous.

North Carolina’s ranking among the most dangerous
According to the study, the states with the most dangerous drivers based on the factors studied are:
- Louisiana – 7.55/10
- California – 7.21/10
- New Mexico – 6.74/10
- Hawaii – 6.73/10
- Delaware – 6.67/10
- New Jersey – 6.53/10
- Mississippi – 6.47/10
- North Carolina – 6.39/10
- Massachusetts – 6.33/10
- Maryland and Texas – 6.26/10
According to the study, North Carolina had 32.5 fatal injuries per 100,000 licensed drivers, but only 2.1% of rough roads, which was the lowest percentage out of the other ranked states.
For a more localized perspective, the North Carolina Department of Transportation releases annual traffic crash facts data. The most recent 2022 report includes a ranking of counties based on several factors, including reported crashes, crash severity, crash rates based on population, registered vehicles and estimated vehicle miles traveled.
The most dangerous county for drivers, ranked at No. 1 for the past five years, was Robeson County. The county had 60 fatal crashes in 2022 with 1,136 non-fatal injury crashes. The rest of the total 4,056 crashes were property-damage-only. The county with the best ranking was Hyde County, coming in at No. 100. The county had one fatal crash in 2022 and 10 non-fatal injury crashes. The county had a total of 45 crashes, the rest of which were property damage only.
