No. 11 NC State continues their Cinderella run, as they upset No. 4 Duke to reach the Final Four of the men's basketball NCAA Tournament.
The team representing the state of North Carolina in the Final Four of the men’s NCAA Tournament is not the Tar Heels or the Blue Devils. It’s the NC State Wolfpack. The No. 11-seeded NC State squad’s Cinderella journey continues, as they upset No. 4 Duke on Sunday night, 76-64, to move on to the Final Four in Arizona.
The Wolfpack will take on the No. 1-seeded Purdue Boilermakers for a spot in the national championship game. This is the first time NC State has reached the Final Four since 1983 when they won the national championship under legendary coach Jim Valvano. NC State's victory came in the second half, where they outscored Duke, 55-37, after being down 27-21 at halftime.
