    As an NC State Alumni, thank you for making us #1! I was so nervous that it wouldn’t be, because there are so many great moments but when you think of the adversity the 83’ team went through just to make the tournament (Survive and Advance) and more and what they meant as a Cinderella team to not only basketball but underdogs everywhere, there is no greater team or moment! Go Wolfpack!

      Well #1 is also a buzzer beater to win a national title and a huge upset to boot. Sprinkle in the legend of Jimmy V and it’s a deserving winner. But Jenkins should be #2 in my opinion. I think as time goes on that shot will move up these types of lists

    How is nothing from Kemba on here? How many go-ahead baskets did he make in the final minutes of play. I think they may have been trailing in all but one or two games the whole tournament.
