"Cardiac Pack"
On this night in 1983, Lorenzo Charles caught a Dereck Whittenburg airball, dunking it at the buzzer to give underdog North Carolina state the NCAA Championship and one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Coach Jim Valvano, running around looking for someone to hug, might be even more memorable.
The Cinderella run through the 1983 NCAA basketball tournament captured the attention of the entire country as the #6-seeded Wolfpack were called the "Cardiac Pack," winning two games by one point and another one in double overtime.
North Carolina State 54, Houston 52.
