    As an NC State Alumni, thank you for making us #1! I was so nervous that it wouldn’t be, because there are so many great moments but when you think of the adversity the 83’ team went through just to make the tournament (Survive and Advance) and more and what they meant as a Cinderella team to not only basketball but underdogs everywhere, there is no greater team or moment! Go Wolfpack!
