NC State men’s, women’s basketball join list of both teams making Final Four in same year
View Date:2024-12-23 18:28:36
It’s a good time to be a hoops player — and fan — at NC State.
Basketball is thriving in Raleigh, North Carolina after both the NC State men’s and women’s teams clinched a spot in the Final Four — in upset fashion no less and after long waits. The No. 3 seeded women's team hadn't reached a Final Four since 1998, and the No. 11 seeded men's team hadn't made a Final Four since winning it all in 1983.
It’s already hard enough to make one Final Four, but for both teams at the same campus to do it in the same year is an impressive feat. But NC State isn't the first school to achieve it.
Here are the schools that were able to send a men’s and women’s team to the Final Four in the same year:
Georgia, 1983
Georgia was the first school to get a men’s and women’s team in the Final Four at the same time when it did it in 1983.
