Top-seeded North Carolina was expected to be here. But 10th-seeded NC State has won four games in four days in an improbable run to the ACC Tournament final.
To o'connell o'connell with one second left wing three on the wave. He got it. It's good. NC State has been on a magical run through this AC C tournament. Only fitting. It would take that miracle shot by Michael o'connell to force overtime and trying to keep their season alive. He said he felt confident when stepping into it and thankfully it went in the pack would then outscore Virginia seven in overtime, punching a ticket to their first AC C title game since 2007. At first. I was just kind of staring at like I just made this shot. Oh my God. And then I realized like, you know, we can really do this. We can get to the championship. You know, we have a few more minutes to make an impact and win the game and thankfully, we pulled it out. Uh I'm kinda at a lost words right now. I'm just glad that my season is not over yet and we live and see another day. The job's not finished though. Man, we got a, we got a perfect opportunity to, uh play, uh uh in, in state rival, you know, no better opportunity to come out here tomorrow and leave it all out there on the court. Man. This is our opportunity before the pack tipped off. They knew what was waiting on the other side. Number one seed, North Carolina outlasting pit. The Panthers came out the more physical team but RJ Davis and Armando Bacot carried the team down the stretch 31 combined points. The final 16, the tar heels one win away from their first AC C title since 2016. It just shows how much of a team we are and, uh, how resilient we are. And, um, we set goals at the beginning this year and for us to be one more game away, it means a lot, but the job's not finished. Coaches players, we've all been locked in and we've been a family and I mean, it's just been a fun ride so to go out with a championship would be huge. And that's been one of our biggest goals this year. Kevin Keats said, I know everyone was expecting Carolina and Duke, but you're getting Carolina NC State and we play pretty good basketball at NC State too. Now, either way, I think we're gonna get a good one here tonight. We got an 830 tip from the sports at Capital One arena. Let's send it back to Chris Lee who has more of your morning sports
