Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the extraordinary achievements of the NC State men's and women's basketball teams, which had amazing runs through this year's NCAA championships. For the first time in NC State's history, both teams made it to the Final Four in the same year. The underdogs of the season, the men's team shocked the Nation when they beat top-seeded UNC to win the ACC Tournament, claiming the title for the first time since Jimmy V was the coach in 1987. They continued to defy the odds by beating Duke and making it to the Final Four. The three-peat ACC champions, the women's team, also made the Wolfpack community exceptionally proud, starting the season unranked and making it to the Final Four with an incredible final game against South Carolina. I congratulate both teams on their fantastic season. Go, Pack. ____________________
