It’s working out, but NC state needs to start taking these balls back out instead of taking to the rim. They will win either way, but burning clock is the better choice.

So happy that DJ is not allowing Duke to go to the FF.

 

[fsanford]

Honestly, they've been really solid in the tournament so far. They had that OT game, but that's about it.

They are finishers for sure

 

[alarson]

People already hated Purdue, if they beat the team of destiny that is NC State it'll add to that.

This is having similarity to NC State's 1983 tournament (starting with the ACC tournament detail).

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

NC freaking State with wbb and mbb final four teams. And mbb were nit bound unless they won a conference tournament. Unreal.

The devil may have come out victorious on Good Friday, but on this Easter Day the devil has been defeated.

 

[CloniesForLife]

This NC State run is unreal

 

[HoopsTournament]

Time to party like it’s 1983.

 

[CloniesForLife]

******* Duke trying to guard and then fouling there

 

[JP4CY]

Good for NC State

The devil may have come out victorious on Good Friday, but on this Easter Day the devil has been defeated.

Sic semper the devil.

Burns Jr. IS Old Man Game.

 

[alarson]

Most loved player in the tournament vs most hated.

And Purdue gets one more test against its nemesis, the double digit seed.

I know this is a pun on Duke's nickname but the Devil is definitely also a Purdue fan so he still won somewhat.

 

[somecyguy]

Officials heads are going to explode when Burns and Edey go against each other. What's the over under on how quickly Burns fouls out?

Said it before, but it’s demoralizing seeing an 11 seed NC State go to the final 4, while better Iowa State teams in recent memory can’t. But that’s why we love the tournament

 

[Cyched]

Same but I'm jealous as hell though. How a school like this can pull this off but we can't is so frustrating?

NC State has 2 national championships, 3, now 4 final four appearances, 7 elite 8 appearances, and 13 conference championships.

That’s their history sure, but they were 10th place in the ACC.

Yet we won the Big 12 tournament, beat a #1 seed twice, yet get drawn in the toughest bracket with the consensus 2024 tournament champions.

They did beat Marquette, but they played in one the easiest brackets when Shead went down. They’re hot and also a little lucky.
