North Carolina State University (NC State) completed a historic run in the ACC Tournament, culminating in their first ACC title since 1987. The team, a 10th seed, managed to win five games in five days, a feat never before accomplished in the tournament's history. Their victory over the University of North Carolina (UNC) with a final score of 84-76 in the championship game was particularly notable, as it marked NC State's first ACC championship in 37 years. The win was made even more remarkable by the fact that NC State had to overcome a 10-point deficit against UNC, showcasing an incredible comeback. This victory not only secured them the ACC title but also an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. NC State's head coach, Kevin Keatts, likened the achievement to a miracle, emphasizing the team's underdog status throughout the tournament. Their journey to the championship included victories over several higher-seeded teams, including Duke and UNC, making their win a significant upset in college basketball history. DJ Horne was a standout player, scoring 29 points in the championship game. Following this historic win, Kevin Keatts received a 2-year contract extension and a $400,000 raise.

You know what the opposite of NCSU sh** is? Winning 5 games in 5 days. Incredible run by @PackMensBball 😮
Incredible historic moment for @PackMensBball basketball & @CoachKeattsNCSU as they win the @theACC tournament beating @UNC_Basketball . Yes 5 consecutive days of victories ! You better believe Jimmy V is jumping with joy in Hoops Heaven .

This is truly some March magic. NC State is going to win five games in five days — including wins over Duke and UNC — to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Wow, wow, wow.
Lost 4 straight during hard stretch to close season. Only 2nd double-digit seed ever to make ACC championship. Won 5 games in 5 days. & 50 years since their historic 1974 ACC title win over Maryland. N.C. State beats UNC & they’re going dancing. Unreal! Can’t script it better.

north carolina state, little brother to both duke and unc, beat BOTH on the way to arguably the most improbable acc tourney title ever
State's lead is 10 with 47 seconds to go. One of the more unbelievable things I've ever seen transpiring here. Arguably the most. Wolfpack on the verge of winning five games in five days to break a 37-year ACC championship drought.
Five tournament wins in five days is an awesome accomplishment. #ACCTourneyChamps
It’s not quite the Kemba/UConn run but still an incredible job by NC State to punch their ticket the hard way in DC.
NC State. Five games in five days, in one of the most competitive leagues in the country. Nothing short of amazing.
This is NC State's fifth game in five days. Only playing tonight because of a banked in three pointer from the wing last night against Virginia that forced OT. Incredible.
Wow this is really going to happen. NC State about to win five games in five days to steal a bid from 10th place in the regular season
NC State 74, UNC 65. 1:51 left. Wolfpack on the verge of history.
Man, what a run by NC State. Haven’t had an ACC title since 1987 and are going to do it with five wins in five days, including wins over Duke and UNC. Excited for that fan base, but especially my mom 🥹🥹
After playing 201 minutes in DC, NC State is 3:51 away from history. NC State 72, UNC 62 DJ Horne has 27, including nine of State's last 14. RJ Davis has 25, including 12 of UNC's last 16.
Kevin Keatts and his boys. Cool to see someone make a run in the ACCT like this. https://t.co/22jHvDAV23
Remarkable performance by NC State tonight after four games in four days. Do they have enough left in them for these final four minutes?
State 61, UNC 58; 8:01 left. RJ Davis with 22, willing his team. The DJs -- Horne (21 points), Burns (20) -- doing the same for State. Know I've made this point a time or two tonight but, man: This is fun. High, high-level drama here.
RJ Davis with a floater to give him 22. Playing like the ACC's best player. Horne has 21. Burns 20. NC State 61-57. So much left in the final 8:01.
Davis with 9 of the last 11 UNC points State leads 61-58 801 left in 2H
State 52, Carolina 48; 14:22 left. Horne and Burns with 35 of State's points. UNC has not lacked effort or energy tonight. But State's has been unreal. Hubert, again, very animated and loud in UNC's huddle during this timeout. Trying to get a little bit more out of his team.
Second half about to begin here. How can it possibly match the first? And does the adrenaline continue to flow for State? Wolfpack showed no signs of fatigue in first 20 minutes, in its fifth game in five days.
Halftime: Carolina 40, State 39. Cormac Ryan with the corner 3 at the buzzer to give UNC the lead. Incredible first half here. Exceeded the build-up. What does State have left for the second? https://t.co/WrDHg2Vwpc
Cormac Ryan beats the horn with a left-corner 3. Carolina 40-39 at halftime. Both teams shooting well with minimal turnovers. Beyond entertaining.
Ryan drains a 3 at the buzzer and UNC goes into halftime up 1 at 40-39. That half of basketball lived up to the hype and the atmosphere. Hopefully these teams can keep it up
Cormac Ryan with a double-pump 3 from the corner at the buzzer to send UNC into the locker room with a 40-39 lead. What a half of basketball. Throwback stuff. Who needs a cigarette? https://t.co/WZMjOruzso
And Hubert Davis counters with an awesome ATO to end the half, getting Cormac Ryan free for a corner 3. Tar Heels take a 40-39 lead into half. https://t.co/9gKokRnpi5
Carolina has its first lead, after RJ Davis' free throws. State hasn't scored in more than two and a half minutes. UNC in the midst of a 12-2 run.
RJ Davis has scored 10 of UNC's last 12 points... and just like that, the Tar Heels have a 30-28 lead.
Knotted at 28 here at a VERY lively Cap One Arena. RJ Davis and DJ Horne with 11 points each. Hubert Davis at full throttle.
RJ Davis has eight of UNC's past 10 points, including a step-back 3 from either side of the court. NC State led by 10 nine minutes ago. We're tied at 28.
RJ Davis ties it with a 3. He's taking over. Amazing theater here. This place is rocking. State and Carolina tied at 28, 6:24 1H. Hubert is like a boxing trainer/hype man in the corner right now, in UNC's huddle. Have never seen him like this.
Tied at 28 all after two RJ Davis 3s in under a minute. He's up to 11 points already. https://t.co/4VhdrTauRW
RJ Davis taking over here. Hubert is going absolutely wild
Davis back-to-back treys and UNC has tied it at 28
RJ Davis looked right at Kevin Keatts and NC State's bench after that stepback 3. It's a game again.
RJ Davis with a stepback 3 and words for Keatts. This is getting as salty as the pace is fast.
State 22, Carolina 16; 9:52 1H. Hubert right now is about as animated as I've ever seen him in a timeout huddle. Screaming and gesticulating. State has been the aggressor here thus far, but UNC with the momentum.
Just a reminder as N.C. State takes an early double-digit lead against UNC in this ACC title game: Only 1 team has ever won 5 games in 5 days to win a conference championship—UConn with Kemba in 2011. Lotssss of game to be played.
If NC State continues to shoot 83%, UNC in large trouble. Pack lead 14-4 at first TV break. #Analysis
State 14, Carolina 4, 15:20 1H. Wolfpack will take that start. And it's showing no signs of fatigue. UNC giving State hope early. Wolfpack is 5-for-6 from the field; UNC 1-for-6, and without a make in past two and a half minutes.
UNC starts 1-for-6 shooting. NC State starts 5-for-6, with three 3s. Thus the 14-4 edge at the U16 timeout.
Whatever was going to have to happen for NC State to win this, a 14-4 start checks a lot of boxes. UNC doubling Burns with mixed results. Tar Heels 1-6 from the floor. All five State starters have scored.
About an hour away now. UNC seeking its first ACC Tournament championship since 2016, and 19th overall. N.C. State seeking its first since 1987, and 11th overall. After it won in ‘87, State and UNC both had 10. https://t.co/epc1RD3DLc
