At the start of the 1982 NCAA basketball season, the North Carolina State Wolfpack were hopeful that the season would bring great victory, but these hopes soon came crashing down. With ten losses, there was little to no chance of the team winning the ACC Tournament, let alone the NCAA Tournament. In a miraculous turn of events, the Wolfpack went onto win nine straight tournament games and won the national championship with the encouragement of larger-than-life coach Jim Valvano.
