Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I am not going to lie, I don't remember watching much of this game, as my attention was drawn on George Mason shocking North Carolina and Bradley upsetting Pittsburgh on this day. This would be Herb Sendek's last game as N.C. State Head Coach. The Wolfpack fan base could not wait to get rid of him after this loss to a Texas team featuring LaMarcus Aldridge and P.J. Tucker, who was from Raleigh. I remember more of the aftermath of this loss, how N.C. State thought it was getting John Calipari from Memphis before having to settle for Sidney Lowe, the point guard on the Wolfpack's 1983 national championship team. Things did not go well for Lowe at N.C. State. However, at least he was a Wolfpack legend and left in better standing than Will Wade, who returned to LSU after just one season at N.C. State following a first-four loss to Texas during the 2026 NCAA Tournament. Talk about an all-time snake move. :-)
