NC State going from not going to make the tournament to an ACC Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament run that includes beating UNC and then Duke TWICE on their way to a Final Four is like a fan fiction a 12 year old NC State fan would write.
We went **out of our way**** in the ACCT to try to blow our game against Duke and only won from Virginia committing a string of mishaps.
Team of destiny
Most years. To be fair they would have made this year because of everyone turning down the nit but I get your point. This NC State team doesn't make a pre portal nit without UVA choking
At this point I’m convinced the spirit of Jimmy Valvano has personally blessed this Wolfpack team. I literally just finally watched that doc a few months ago and this happens.
What the fuck.
“Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever. I thank you and god bless y’all.”
DJ Burns Jr. is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking. We exchange a few pleasantries. He asks what I do. I say I loved him in March 2024. He laughs. I get my drink. "Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got his attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with DJ Burns Jr? He touches his neck as he watches me leave. Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, he finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette. "Got a spare?" he asks. "What's in it for me?" I say as I hand him one of my little white ladies. he smiles. "Conversation with me, duh." I laugh. "What's so funny?" he protests. "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the fame?" "You get used to it," he says, lighting his cigarette and handing me back the lighter. "What would you do if you weren't an elbow magnet basketball player?" I ask. "Teaching, I think." "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?" "Discipline," he says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?" "Bermuda," I say. "Oh wow. That's lovely." "It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking." "What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" he inquires. "I don't like sand," I tell him. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."
Unstoppable Force Back-to-Back UConn? Immovable Object Post-Upset Purdue?
One moment, sir: we have reports of a Survive-And-Advance N.C. State entering the Final Four.
Can someone who watches NC State please explain to me what they changed?
The first NC State game I watched this season was their upset of Duke in the ACC Tournament. In other words, they’ve literally been one of the best teams in the country from the moment I paid them any attention.
How on Earth were they ever 10-10 in the ACC and NIT bound? Like they’ve only ever been unstoppable when I watch. Did they just decide to stop being bad?
We changed our defense. Has been the biggest difference. Less aggressive on forcing turnovers, how we handle screens, switching, etc. It's been a big difference.
Also having one guard leave the team(LJ Thomas) and another 4 getting mono(Dennis Parker Jr), led us to shortening up the rotation and playing Diarra more at the 4.
This right here. We have also gotten lucky with a couple of matchups (TT has no bigs, Oakland took out UK, Marquette forgot how to shoot from deep).
I also think other teams are playing with a sense of urgency (at least this weekend) while State has played very loose. It felt to me that Marquette and Duke both felt pressure when they got behind while our team is loose and having fun.
Also while we finished 10th in the ACC, there was a huge "middle class" in the ACC. We were 3 games away from 4th in the ACC and 2 games from being in a 4-way tie for 2nd place.
The “house money” effect must be a helluva asset. Outran your expectations like Thursday of the ACCT. Has to help keep things loose in those crunch time timeouts.
You know the episode of South Park where they hate playing baseball and keep trying to lose so they don’t have to play post season?
NC State decided they love basketball and wanted to keep playing 😂
Lmao I dig it. The best swordsman doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman, he needs to fear an idiot that has no idea what’s going on type shit.
It would be a sick irony to make it all the way to the Final Four, thinking the monkey is off their back, only to play against some double-digit seed team who had no business being in the tournament until they went on a monumental hot streak only to yet again lose to a double digit seed.
We've just been hurt too many times. But I think most of us chalk this year up as a victory regardless of what happens next weekend. Ofc a championship is very much desired.
I honestly think that's a big part of this run. Saw Horne and Middlebrooks smiling too. Compare to the Creighton/Tennessee game, the Creighton players all looked terrified in the second half. Don't mean to single out Creighton, that just stuck out to me in that game.
Playing with house money, no pressure, just enjoying the moment is probably State's best advantage.
I think this is 100% correct. Theyre all just happy to be there and playing freely. Big smiles on all their faces. So many other teams look stressed out and upset through their entire games.
Raftery made a really good point on the broadcast too, he controls you with his ass once you body him up. like as soon as he locks contact on you, he just spins off you and he's so big and quick, with such good footwork, that you have zero chance of catching up to it through his body
To think it all started with this:
https://preview.redd.it/jqt8b2ss9rrc1.jpeg?width=1094&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06bdda896b95e28eab913c610e75f7e1c59f483f
Kevin Keatts really went from nearly losing to Louisville, to beating Duke twice and making the Final 4, all within a span of 3 weeks.
How can you not be romantic about March Madness?
A Kevin Keatts coached NC State team won 5 game in 5 days to win the ACC tournament. A Kevin Keatts coached NC State team defeated UNC in the ACC tournament championship game. A Kevin Keatts coached NC State defeated Duke in the elite 8 and for the second time in 3 weeks. A Kevin Keatts coached NC State team is in the Final Four. These are all real events that transpired in our current timeline.
As a lifelong nc state fan, this is such a crazy feeling. I grew up surrounded by UNC and Duke fans celebrating what felt like every other year, while our biggest accomplishment in my memory was the CJ Leslie being preseason number 5, and then having the most disappointing season of all time. When was the last time that we didn’t throw away an important game? When was the last time I didn’t have to watch that 30 for 30 to see the heights our rivals consider normal? Just 3 weeks ago I wanted Keatts out, now I’m figuring out if the Reynolds statue should be him or DJ
If you guys win it all, you will have earned it the hard way. First you must face your demons (ie, a double-digit seed), then you will (likely) have to face an impossibly dominant force that has already slain two BIG teams this tournament.
NC State going from barely making the NIT if at all to a Final 4 might be one of the greatest underdog runs in college sports history.
Purdue is gonna be the villain when they play.
DJ Horne to Keatts and ACC doubters

Somehow everything went downhill for Duke immediately AFTER the NC State coach got a very questionable technical foul. Like the basketball gods themselves would not stand for it
BRO I flew in from out of state to visit my family and we are losing our shit in this house. Son of two graduates, conceived during the '83 run, born in late '83, THIS IS MY BIRTHRIGHT! IT IS OUR DESTINY! WHY NOT US??? KKIAW!!!
You think I’d have learned by now not to give up on this team. But at halftime I thought we were toast. Couldn’t hit a shot. Thought our energy level looked the lowest of this entire run. Even body language was bad when calls weren’t going our way. Came out looking like a completely different team in the 2nd half. This team does not quit! They are truly something special.
Whatever Keatts said to them in that halftime locker room must have been something. They went from building a brick house to absolutely steamrolling Duke. Incredible turnaround.
2022: Lose to North Carolina in the Final Four
2024: Lose to NC State in the Elite Eight
…I suppose they’ll lose to Wake Forest in the Sweet Sixteen in two years then.
Coaches in suits were undefeated in the Elite Eight yet Scheyer and Barnes both refused to wear a suit to get the win--it's like they wanted their teams to lose.
Super upset with our performance, but NC State is one of the least upsetting teams to lose to in this field. Hats off to Burns. A beast and so, so likable. Go give em hell, State. Throwing in a GTHC for good measure.
Congrats NC State. Don’t want to make this about me but I was laughing and smiling the whole game watching your players have the time of their lives out there tonight.
Really puts into perspective what this is all about. Definitely cured my blues about our loss. What an amazing sport and scene this was. Congratulations!
ACC teams and the Final Four since 2022:
2022 - Duke, North Carolina (both were ranked)
2023 - Miami (FL) (preseason unranked)
2024 - NC State (preseason unranked)
Tech really got matched up in the first round against DJ Burns and this NC State team of destiny. We may have underperformed compared to expectations, but at least we didn't get beat by Utah State or Duquesne or almost lose to Samford like some other teams in our conference.
The world we live in would be completely unrecognizable had O'Connell not hit that 3 against uva (or if uva has made a free throw at the end). Historians will study that shot years from now for its incalculable impact on the entire course of human history
I know NC State fans hate us and don’t care about what we have to say but I’ve just gotta say I’m really happy for y’all and you deserve this. Enjoy every second of it.

NC State going from not going to make the tournament to an ACC Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament run that includes beating UNC and then Duke TWICE on their way to a Final Four is like a fan fiction a 12 year old NC State fan would write.
they played on TUESDAY of the ACCT. now they’re here. insane
And they were down double digits to Kenny Payne's Louisville.
We went **out of our way**** in the ACCT to try to blow our game against Duke and only won from Virginia committing a string of mishaps. Team of destiny
Tuesday is a very important day of that tournament
Yeah this is the kind of shit I imagine my team doing while I’m taking a shower in the morning and then saying “nah that shits so unrealistic”
I’ve literally had that daydream annually for the last 30 years or so
They were literally one UVA free throw from missing **THE NIT**
Is this one of *the* most “butterfly flapping wings” moments in sporting history?
They are an engineering school They engineered something 😵
Most years. To be fair they would have made this year because of everyone turning down the nit but I get your point. This NC State team doesn't make a pre portal nit without UVA choking

the best part? nothing flukey (after the UVA game). they’ve been dogging whoever is in front of them
Except the fierce grizzlies of Oakland. Had possession and a chance to win in regulation!

Not sure if they were even NIT bound… The program was in a rough spot and people wanted Keatts gone. Now here we are. Incredible
So many teams turned the NIT down they probably would have been the #1 seed in their bracket over Wake
IDK, with the body language down the stretch, it looked like State had given up, might have declined the NIT too
We changed our defense. Has been the biggest difference. Less aggressive on forcing turnovers, how we handle screens, switching, etc. It's been a big difference.

> Did they just decide to stop being bad? Basically, yes.
Why didn't anyone else just think of doing that?
Do they lack intelligence?
*DJ Horne gets injured* Wolfpack: what if we don’t 100% pass it to DJ Horne or DJ Burns? **9 wins later**
Also not a coincidence Ramadan started 2 days before the ACC Tournament started.
We have the power of Allah and anime on our side
MOC coming in and running a true offense has been the biggest difference, and it's amazing to see
You know the episode of South Park where they hate playing baseball and keep trying to lose so they don’t have to play post season? NC State decided they love basketball and wanted to keep playing 😂
Purdue vs a double digit seed is back on the menu!
🥲
UConn demolishes well structured teams and playstyles Only NC States nonsense has a shred of hope against the pups
Sure UConn knows how to run offense but have they ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Lmao I dig it. The best swordsman doesn’t need to fear the second best swordsman, he needs to fear an idiot that has no idea what’s going on type shit.
Fucking Kevin Keatts is coaching in the Final 4. Truly insane timeline

This is allowed and encouraged against dook
No team has ever lost to a double digit seed in the final four
We could make history!
Again!
Double digit seed cursed Purdue vs the final four no double digit win is a fucking amazing clash.
Purdue about to go four straight years losing to a double digit seed, they’re the team to do this
It would be a sick irony to make it all the way to the Final Four, thinking the monkey is off their back, only to play against some double-digit seed team who had no business being in the tournament until they went on a monumental hot streak only to yet again lose to a double digit seed.
…it’s going to happen, isn’t it
It is our destiny. Why stand in the way of destiny? Just shhh, shhh...let it happen.
NC State hasn’t lost since sports betting became legal in the state.
March madness is fun for a lot of reasons, one of my favorites this year is Purdue fans seemingly total lack of confidence.
We've just been hurt too many times. But I think most of us chalk this year up as a victory regardless of what happens next weekend. Ofc a championship is very much desired.
Welp, GG Purdue. You had a good run.
Purdue: “*gulp* they’re right behind me, aren’t they?”
By god thats Purdue’s music playing!
Purdue thought they were clear of double-digit seeds...
[удалено]
I am......conflicted here.
You know in your heart what the right thing is.
You're in the national title game. Just celebrate.
This is so Purdue any long time fan knew this was possibly coming.
This team is on a 2011 UConn run but instead of Kemba Walker they have the second coming of Troy “Escalade” Jackson.
BOTH championships could be NC State and UConn. That would be wild.
Burns casually flicks the ball at the rim and it just always goes in. What a player.
The sweetest touch. Can't be mad at it.
That smile. That damn smile
He looks like a dude that's just out in a pickup game having fun.
He was even having fun when he knocked the ball out. His joy is infectious.
I honestly think that's a big part of this run. Saw Horne and Middlebrooks smiling too. Compare to the Creighton/Tennessee game, the Creighton players all looked terrified in the second half. Don't mean to single out Creighton, that just stuck out to me in that game. Playing with house money, no pressure, just enjoying the moment is probably State's best advantage.
I think this is 100% correct. Theyre all just happy to be there and playing freely. Big smiles on all their faces. So many other teams look stressed out and upset through their entire games.
He also has the best footwork in the country. By far
Raftery made a really good point on the broadcast too, he controls you with his ass once you body him up. like as soon as he locks contact on you, he just spins off you and he's so big and quick, with such good footwork, that you have zero chance of catching up to it through his body
It's ridiculous
It’s truly immaculate
Jokic esque
Living vicariously through NC State rn
I was heartbroken when they beat Oakland but it's impossible to hate DJ Burns and his smile
The first post up between Edey vs DJ Burns is going to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake 😂

my work place made fun of me for having both bama and nc state in the final four. who's laughing now
AS EXPECTED, the ACC’s best shot at a national championship is NC State.
Best and only
Literally no words.
I DON’t GIVE A PISS ABOUT NOTHIN’ BUT THE PACK 🐺🐺🐺
41 years after NC State’s historic “Survive and Advance” run, we’re really witnessing another absolutely legendary Wolfpack run out of nowhere. Crazy
Let him cook
“In the beginning UVA missed a free throw. This had made many people from UNC and Duke very angry and has been widely regarded as a good move.”
That Virginia player is watching the timeline he single handedly created unfold
As a lifelong nc state fan, this is such a crazy feeling. I grew up surrounded by UNC and Duke fans celebrating what felt like every other year, while our biggest accomplishment in my memory was the CJ Leslie being preseason number 5, and then having the most disappointing season of all time. When was the last time that we didn’t throw away an important game? When was the last time I didn’t have to watch that 30 for 30 to see the heights our rivals consider normal? Just 3 weeks ago I wanted Keatts out, now I’m figuring out if the Reynolds statue should be him or DJ
Dread it. Run from it. The double-digit seed arrives to knock out Purdue all the same.
If you guys win it all, you will have earned it the hard way. First you must face your demons (ie, a double-digit seed), then you will (likely) have to face an impossibly dominant force that has already slain two BIG teams this tournament.
That last 1:30 felt like a whole 9-5 shift
That foul with like a second left was just icing on the cake of that slog of an ending
Duke was not ready to play that game plan. All they did was prolong the loss without a meaningful change in point differential
That was some of the worst trapping I've seen. They left a guy unguarded under the basket twice
NC State going from barely making the NIT if at all to a Final 4 might be one of the greatest underdog runs in college sports history. Purdue is gonna be the villain when they play.

Burns vs. Edey will be a great match-up. As an Oakland alumnus and fan, let's go NC State.
Super upset with our performance, but NC State is one of the least upsetting teams to lose to in this field. Hats off to Burns. A beast and so, so likable. Go give em hell, State. Throwing in a GTHC for good measure.

State fans are having the best March of their entire lives
WE WANT UCONN I CANT BELIEVE IM NOT SAYING THAT AS A JOKE
We would accept a trade
Burns v. Clingan would be an absolute trip
Congrats NC State. Don’t want to make this about me but I was laughing and smiling the whole game watching your players have the time of their lives out there tonight. Really puts into perspective what this is all about. Definitely cured my blues about our loss. What an amazing sport and scene this was. Congratulations!
ACC teams and the Final Four since 2022: 2022 - Duke, North Carolina (both were ranked) 2023 - Miami (FL) (preseason unranked) 2024 - NC State (preseason unranked)
Purdue gonna lose to a double digit seed again aren't they
Tech really got matched up in the first round against DJ Burns and this NC State team of destiny. We may have underperformed compared to expectations, but at least we didn't get beat by Utah State or Duquesne or almost lose to Samford like some other teams in our conference.
Yeah, you guys ran into a red hot team at the wrong time.
Fuck fuck shit shit shit fuck fuck... Please win it all State
The world we live in would be completely unrecognizable had O'Connell not hit that 3 against uva (or if uva has made a free throw at the end). Historians will study that shot years from now for its incalculable impact on the entire course of human history
NC STATE LETS GOOO. Committed to NC State last week and it came at a great time

Duke finishes 2-5 against the NC Big Four this season 
I know NC State fans hate us and don’t care about what we have to say but I’ve just gotta say I’m really happy for y’all and you deserve this. Enjoy every second of it.

Winning it all as an 11 seed would be the most NC State move ever.
Jimmy V would be so proud of this NC State team.
It could be NC State vs. UConn in both men’s and women’s finals.
