WATCH LIVE: NC State and City of Raleigh celebrate ACC title, Final Four runs at the Belltower

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — NC State and the City of Raleigh are preparing a special celebration following the historic March Madness.

The Wolfpack men have followed their first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 1987 with an even more improbable Final Four appearance, the first since Jim Valvano’s “Cardiac Pack” magic of ’83.

They are the first team to go 5-for-5 and win the ACC Tournament, then followed with four NCAA wins in a row to get back to the sport’s biggest stage before falling to Purdue in the Final Four 63-50.

Just as magical: the women made the Final Four, too, their first trip since 1998, which came under their own beloved late Hall of Famer, Kay Yow. The team also did not advance to the championship after losing to No. 1 and eventual national champions South Carolina 78-59.

The celebration begins at 8 p.m. Monday at the Memorial Belltower on NC State’s campus.

You can watch all the festivities on ABC11’s North Carolina streaming app and right here inside this story in the featured video.
