NC State Basketball
Hodge, Monroe, Thompson and Warren Advance to Elite 8
The ACC is doing their own version of March Madness to determine the best Men’s Basketball player of the past 50 years.
Out of the 64 players chosen, 4 NC State players were selected: David Thompson, Rodney Monroe, Julius Hodge and T.J Warren.
All 4 of them advanced to the Elite 8 over the weekend.
#7 Julius Hodge vs. #3 Darrell Griffith (Louisville) – 52.6% – 47.4%
#8 T.J. Warren vs. #5 seed Jared Dudley (Boston College) – 64% – 36%
#1 David Thompson vs. #4 James Worthy (UNC) – 51% – 49%
#5 Rodney Monroe vs. #1 Christian Laettner (Duke) – 50.3% – 49.7%
Here’s a look at the Elite 8 matchups for the Wolfpack legends.

It looks like all 4 are going to lose to Syracuse players. Apparently Syracuse alums stuff the ballot box even more than Pack alums.
