DALLAS (AP) — DJ Horne blew kisses to the crowd and blew off the notion of North Carolina State as a Cinderella.
As for their opportunity to create a replay of 1983, yeah, the Wolfpack are aware.
Horne scored 19 points and N.C. State kept its magical NCAA Tournament run alive, beating Marquette 67-58 on Friday night to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1986.
Casey Morsell added 15 points and Mohamed Diarra had 11 points and 15 rebounds in N.C. State's eighth consecutive victory since the start of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, which the Wolfpack had to win even to be a part of March Madness.
