from The Associated Press
RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina State’s first national championship team is back together again, 35 years later.
Hall of Famer David Thompson and the rest of N.C. State’s 1974 team were reunited Monday night before the present-day Wolfpack played Marquette in a rematch of that year’s title game.
Thompson called that N.C. State unit “the greatest team in the history of the ACC, and probably one of the greatest in the history of college basketball.”
That team was led by tournament MVP Thompson, center Tom Burleson and current N.C. State assistant Monte Towe.
The Wolfpack toppled UCLA before knocking off Al McGuire and Marquette 76-64 to claim the first of the school’s two national titles. That capped a two-season run in which the Wolfpack were 57-1.
