Why Not Us?

All-ACC Guard DJ Horne said it after the Syracuse win, and he said it again after NC State defeated Duke last night in the Quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.

“Why Not Us?”

Breaking T is cashing in on it, selling “Why Not Us?” T-Shirts to the Wolfpack fans.

NC State is the first team to every play on Tuesday in the ACC Tournament, and end up playing in the Semifinals on Friday.

For the first time since 2014, the Wolfpack are playing in the Semifinals of the ACC Tournament. They are looking to defeat Virginia, a team they beat once this year already, to advance to the ACC Tournament Finals for the first time since 2007.

NC State hasn’t won an ACC Title since 1987. After that, the Wolfpack wouldn’t advance to the Finals of the ACC Tournament again until 1997. From 1997 to 2007, NC State went to the Finals of the ACC Tournament on 4 occasions, losing to Duke 3 times, and UNC once.

What the heck…

Why Not Us?
