MORNING WILL LAST FOR US. ALL RIGHT, PETA, THANK YOU. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1987, THE NC STATE WOLFPACK ARE THE ACC MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS BEATING RIVAL UNC. THE WOLF ACT SHOWED OFF THEIR PROWESS EARLY IN THIS GAME WITH UNC WORKING TO CLOSE THE GAP AND THROUGH A HOTLY CONTESTED 1ST HALF, IT WAS ONLY A ONE POINT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 TEAMS. BUT IN A DECISIVE VICTORY STATE FINISHED WITH AN 8 POINT LEAD OVER THE TAR HEELS WILL FACT PLAYER D J WARD CAME AWAY WITH AN IMPRESSIVE 29 POINTS. HE WOULD JUST FOR SHOT WITH YOU IN SEES RJ DAVIS ACC PLAYER OF THE YEAR. >> WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO UNC NEVER GOT INTO THE GAME WITH THE SAME SKILL AND DESIRE THAT THEIR RIVALS AT NC STATE DID. >> THEN AFTER THE WIN, THE WOLFPACK SHOWERED IN CONFETTI AS THEY RAISE THAT ACC CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY MOMENT. THOSE PLAYERS ARE SURE TO REMEMBER FOREVER AS THEY'RE UNDEFEATED RUN GOES DOWN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AND AFTER THE CONFETTI, YOU SEE DJ HORNE, CUTTING THE NET AND BRINGING A PIECE OF THAT VICTORY HOME WITH THE WOLF PACK. IT'S A TRADITION FOR THE WINNING TEEN DATING BACK TO THE 1940'S. AND SPEAKING OF TRADITIONS, HEAD COACH KEVIN KEATTS HOPES THEY ADDED TO THE NC STATE LEGACY. >> YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT AND TO STAY, YOU KNOW, THE COUPLE THINGS THAT REALLY STAND OUT TO YOU IS THE 74 CHAMPIONSHIP. ANY 83 CHAMPIONSHIPS AND AND WE CAN MAKE ANY OF THOSE GUYS PROUD. AND HOPEFULLY THEY ARE BY WHAT WE DID HERE IN THE ACC. THAT'S A GREAT THING. >> ONLY ONE OTHER TEAM IN MEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL HISTORY HAS WON 5 GAMES IN 5 DAYS TO WIN ITS CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. >> BACK HERE IN RALEIGH, THE MEMORIAL BELL TOWER IS LIT UP IN RED TO CELEBRATE THIS MONUMENTAL WIN FOR THE WOLF ACT. WRAL'S CARLY HAYNES WAS ON CAMPUS AFTER THE FINAL BUZZER AND BRINGS US REACTION FROM FANS BARELY ABLE TO CONTAIN THEIR EXCITEMENT >> AT THE BOW TIE RIGHT NOW, IT IS A LITTLE BREAD. WE HA, >> WE SCARILY HEADS. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THAT RIGHT THERE. AND OF COURSE, AS THE WOLFPACK CELEBRATED THEIR TEAM'S WIN, IT WAS. WELL, IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY FOR THOSE UNC FANS IN CHAPEL HILL. FANS WATCHING THE GAME FROM TOP OF THE HILL RESTAURANT WERE SHOCKED AS THEIR TEAM FILLED THE STATE. THE TAR HEELS WERE ON AN EIGHT-GAME HOT STREAK FANS WE SPOKE WITH WERE READY FOR THE CELEBRATIONS ON FRANKLIN STREET. WELL, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY TELL US THIS ISN'T THE END FOR UNC. THEY'LL BOUNCE BACK LATER IN THE 80'S IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. >> IT WAS HURTING HIM. THE CAR CAUSE. I WAS LOOKING AT THE SCORE AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WE COULD JUST GET BETWEEN 5 AND WE COULD JUST GET SO IT WAS BUILDING UP ON THE WAY HERE. AND WHEN I GOT TO FRANKLIN STREET AND SAW BASICALLY NO ONE ON THE STREET, IT WAS A LETDOWN. I WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT BUT I'LL SAY IT, BUT WE'RE GOING TAKE A LOSS. IT'S BETTER TAKING NOW AND KIND OF I KNOW THE RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP IN MARCH MADNESS. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S IMPORTANT. >> IT ADDED TO THEIR GOOD. >> A VERY BIG NIGHT, OF COURSE, FOR CAROLINA BASKETBALL. WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE COVERAGE FROM THIS YEAR'S ACC FINALE AHEAD FOR YOU THIS MORNING ON WRAL. WE'VE GOT BOTH PAT WELTER AND CASEY, HENCE THEY WILL LIVE AT THE GAME IN WASHINGTON,
