Thursday night N.C. State came to town to take on the women's basketball team in a game that would determine the champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Both teams had plenty of motivation for this game. N.C. State was embarrassed by Duke in a 14-point loss in Raleigh earlier in the season and was seeking revenge. The Blue Devils were trying to defend their home court and finish a perfect 8-0 in conference play at home.

The Wahoo faithful will have vivid memories of last year's dramatic and controversial 61-60 loss to the Blue Devils. At the end of that game, the officials were criticized for not letting a Virginia sub into the game with 4.3 seconds remaining in the game and not starting the clock until then-junior guard Steve Wojciechowski neared midcourt on his drive to the hoop. Wojciechowski was fouled with two seconds left, and proceeded to hit the two clutch free throws that gave Duke the victory.
