Excerpt: The NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team represents North Carolina State University in NCAA Division I men's basketball competition. The Wolfpack currently competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference, of which it was a founding member. Prior to joining the ACC in 1954 the Wolfpack was a member of the Southern Conference, where the Pack won seven conference championships. As a member of the ACC the Wolfpack has won ten conference championships and two national championships. State's unexpected 1983 title was one of the most memorable in NCAA history. Since 1999 the Wolfpack has played most of its home games in the RBC Center. NC State began varsity intercollegiate competition in men's basketball in 1911. In 99 years of play, the Wolfpack ranks 24th in total victories among NCAA Division I college basketball programs and 26th in winning percentage among programs with at least 26 years in Division I. The team's all-time record is 1503-894 (.627). The program saw its greatest success during the head coaching tenures of Everett Case (19461965), Norm Sloan (19671980), and Jim Valvano (19801990). NC State has produced some of the ACC's best players, including Tom Burleson, Rodney Monroe, Monte Towe, and Ron Shavlik. David Thompson, who led the Wolfpack to its first NCAA title in 1974, has been recognized as one of college basketball's greatest players. The Wolfpack has won 17 total conference tournaments and seven regular season conference titles. State has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 22 times, with three Final Four appearances (...
