It’s a good time to be a hoops player — and fan — at NC State.
Basketball is thriving in Raleigh, North Carolina after both the NC State men’s and women’s teams clinched a spot in the Final Four — in upset fashion no less and after long waits. The No. 3 seeded women's team hadn't reached a Final Four since 1998, and the No. 11 seeded men's team hadn't made a Final Four since winning it all in 1983.
It’s already hard enough to make one Final Four, but for both teams at the same campus to do it in the same year is an impressive feat. But NC State isn't the first school to achieve it.
Here are the schools that were able to send a men’s and women’s team to the Final Four in the same year:
Georgia, 1983
Georgia was the first school to get a men’s and women’s team in the Final Four at the same time when it did it in 1983.

That year, the men’s team made its first Final Four in team history, losing to NC State. It was also the women’s first Final Four, but the Bulldogs lost to Southern California.

Duke’s teams not only just made the Final Four in 1999, but also made it to the championship game.
The men’s team lost to Connecticut, while the women’s team ,in its first Final Four trip, lost to Purdue for the title.

The men’s team lost in the Final Four to Syracuse, while the women’s lost to Connecticut in the Final Four.

The Michigan State women’s team made its first Final Four, losing to Baylor in the national championship game. The men lost to North Carolina in the Final Four.
