NC State shocks Virginia with buzzer-beater to force OT, notches 4th win in 4 nights to reach ACC tourney final

NC State has its fourth win in four nights, and this might have been the most preposterous one yet.

One day after stunning No. 2 seed Duke in the quarterfinals of the ACC men's basketball tournament, the 10th-seeded Wolfpack beat No. 3 seed Virginia in overtime. It will face top seed UNC, who beat Pitt earlier Friday, in the final.

Virginia appeared on track to end the dream run in the final minute of the game, particularly when it took a 58-52 lead with 51 seconds remaining. However, an ill-advised foul by Ryan Dunn on the next possession allowed NC State to cut the lead to 58-55 with 43 seconds left.
