20 Nights in March

The N.C. State Wolfpack's journey to the Final Four has been nothing short of remarkable. It all began with a dramatic shot in the ACC Tournament, and now they have fought their way to somehow, someway, find themselves among the top contenders for a national championship.

Led by a beloved center with a wide fan base in D.J. Burns, this team has defied all odds and proved their mettle on the court.

Their late coach in Jim Valvano's historic words of "Don't Give Up, don't ever give up!" have been embodied by the team throughout the month of March, with each game showcasing their unwavering spirit and determination.

One of the most memorable moments of their journey was the semi-finals of the 2024 Men’s Basketball ACC Tournament, where Michael O'Connell's half-court three-pointer tied the game against the Virginia Cavaliers, leading to a historic win for the Wolfpack. The team's offensive prowess, led by D.J. Burns Jr., has been nothing short of spectacular, with their high-flying performances capturing the attention of basketball fans across the country.

Even in defeat, the Wolfpack's run leading up to the Final Four has been incredible, as they defied expectations and proved that an 11 seed can contend for a national championship. The Applebee's in North Carolina was packed to the brim with fans hoping for an upset, and the team's journey has helped to rejuvenate the idea that anything is possible in college basketball.
