20 years ago, we beat (in order) Duke, Wake, and UNC to win our last ACC title, and make the NCAAs after finishing the regular season in the bottom half of the league. Being a little too young to remember the '83 title, that '87 championship win over UNC will be the Jimmy V victory I'll always remember.

I'd love to see another ACC title tomorrow...20 years is too long for a program with the tradition of State to go without one!

From Pat Fordes article on ESPN (too tired to do tinyurl and dont want to fuck up thread)

Quote :

"As the latest upset wound to a conclusion Saturday, assistant coach Monty Towe leaned over and whispered in Lowe's ear, "Happy birthday, Jimmy V.""

my dad sent me this text message after we won today


"Today is Coach V's brthday and he said, 'you've got to believe'."


Basically not only do we need to believe in our team tomorrow but the team needs to believe too.

I really wish good luck to the team tomorrow, and it sucks that I have to work and miss the game. But I have a feeling that everyone, other than Carolina fans are going to be behind us too.

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. No. 1 is laugh. You should laugh every day. No. 2 is think. You should spend some time in thought. And No. 3 is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." -- Jim Valvano, March 4 1993. (died from cancer less than 2 months later) "
