I watch Survive and Advance every year before March Madness. It's my most favorite sports documentary, and I'm just a guy from Pittsburgh, PA, who took a fascination into the '83 Wolfpack.

In 2018 there was a HS football team with a similar sports story. Bainbridge Bearcats started 0-5 ended up 5-5 heading into the playoffs. They beat 5 top 10 teams (on the road) and won the State Championship. I still gets chills from watching their playoff games from that season.

I am a lifelong Wolfpack fan and I tell you that the experience of watching all this unfold in 1983 was truly unbelievable. From the improbable run in the ACC tourney which had to happen in order for NC State to even make it to the big dance. To the nearly impossible series of razor close wins in the NCAA tourney to get to the championship game. And finally, to upset mighty Houston which some had compared to being almost an NBA quality squad. I don't think we will ever witness a run that will top it!

I wasn’t born yet, but I know that this was one of the greatest stories arguably. March is in about nine weeks from now or so. This is a great story to tell this time of year since it is college basketball season. Jim Valvano was not only arguably one of the greatest Cinderella coaches ever but off the court he was an even better human being. He was taken way too early by cancer. The thing about getting there through the ACC tournament with teams today is it’s very hard, including for the current coach Kevin Keatts, the chances nowadays in this day in age of a tier 3 team of winning the national championship through conference tournaments this way are very remote in today’s World. It would be one of the greatest stories of the 21st-century if it happened again especially in today’s World. If it happened, it would be like in the other big sport for college “TCU” that we just saw earlier this month but for basketball, and not for football in the way the format for third-fiddle teams (like Holfsta, Appalachian State, Wake Forest, and even “NC State,” for that matter) have a hard path to get there it just doesn’t happen in today’s World. It’s because March Madness now has 68 teams this was a totally different era under Valvano.

Beat anything I ever seen I remember that came down to lousy free throws lucky bounces they should have been eliminated many times somehow some way they would pull it out I thought they were beating many times I was sure Houston would beat them but they didn't it was like God wanted them to win

They were tied or behind with less than a minute to go in eight out of nine elimination games and won every single one of them. It was the equivalent of a hockey coach pulling the goalie with ten minutes to go game after game after game and getting away with it every time.

My dad was a senior at State in ‘83 living off of Maiden Lane in his frat, and after the game all of his friends said, ‘we gotta burn something 🔥 anything! What do we have?!....THE COUCH 🛋...’. The proceeded to take their only couch in the downstairs living room, March it over to Hillsboro Street, and set it on fire. He told me he didn’t remember anything after them deciding on the coach to burn. So anything after they picked it up to be hauled off for sacrilege, was pure bliss and happiness. God bless. As a young State fan I too hope one day I’ll be on Hillsboro Street burning something in celebration of the victorious championship.

Because it happened time and time again. What Villanova did was a case of the stars aligning for one night. What NC State did would send Will Hunting into hiding over that mathematical possibility that a team could win that many one or two point games under elimination game pressure.

I was 12 years old. A diehard State fan. I watched the game on a 13” Samsung tv which I had sitting in the seat of my great grandfather’s rocking chair. For the whole game I sat there on the floor a foot away from that tv. Still today I have that tv and the rocking chair. Magic was created that post season.

Everyone wanted to say it was Luck and yes you do have to have some Luck to Win anything. The thing is though when you Win 3 in The ACC TOURNAMENT and 6 more in the NCAA TOURNAMENT and you beat the likes of Virginia twice with Ralph Sampson, UNC with Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins, UNLV with Sydney Green, HOUSTON with AKKEM and Drexler, Georgia with Vern Fleming. I mean I think at some point the word Good has to come into play. Those Seniors had been through the ACC wars for four years. They had played against the Jordan's Sampson's of the world. That was a good team.

I'm from The Detroit area and grew up and still am a Michigan fan. (Still seeing Juzang in my nightmares) But I've always followed The Pack and The Heels. I don't think any 30 for 30 has had more of an impact on me than survive and advance. Valvano was a GREAT coach, and an even better person. The way his players feel about him tells you what a great person he was. He cared for his players deeply off the floor as much as on. His Colleagues and even rivals had admiration for him. He was taken way way too soon.
