DJ Horne led North Carolina State to a 67-58 victory over Marquette, propelling the Wolfpack to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1986. Horne's 19 points, along with Casey Morsell's 15 points and Mohamed Diarra's 11 points and 15 rebounds, secured N.C. State's eighth consecutive win since the ACC Tournament.
The Wolfpack, seeded 11th in the South Region, are on a remarkable run, facing Duke next in an all-ACC showdown for a spot in the Final Four. This achievement marks a significant milestone for N.C. State, reminiscent of their 1974 national championship win against Marquette.
