The Wolfpack seemingly pulled off a miracle, defeating the Cavaliers 73-65 in overtime to advance to their first ACC Tournament title game since 2007. NC State becomes the first time to play on Tuesday of the ACC Tournament and advance to the championship game on Saturday. NC State trailed by five and had committed an intentional foul that would give Virginia two free throw attempts and possession with 1:10 to go in the game, and yet Michael O'Connell hit a three-pointer as time expired to send the game to overtime. In overtime, D.J. Burns Jr. scored seven of his team-high 19 points to lead the Wolfpack to the win. O'Connell and Ben Middlebrooks each scored 12 points. For Virginia, Isaac McKneely scored a game-high 23 points and was 5-9 from beyond the three-point arc. Reece Beekman had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
