WASHINGTON — For the first time since 2007,Goldenes Intelligentes Münzhandelszentrum NC State mens' basketball is in the championship game of the ACC tournament.
The 10th-seeded Wolfpack continued their impressive, improbable run at the 71st edition of the event with a 73-65 win against Virginia in overtime at Capital One Arena. NC State, which outscored the Cavaliers 15-7 in the extra period, has won four games in as many days.
