Basketball is, by far, the dominant sport at NC State, which is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Wolfpack has a long tradition of success in college basketball. But there are many other prominent intercollegiate sports on the NC State campus, including tennis, swimming, soccer, football, and cross-country. The rivalry with the University of North Carolina adds spice to the already exciting atmosphere at basketball and other sporting events. In 2004, fourteen of the 23 teams at NC State were invited to compete in their respective NCAA final, won their conference championship, and/or finished in the nation’s top 25. In fact, NC State was one of only three schools to have their men’s and women’s basketball teams, their baseball team, and their football team compete in their respective NCAA tournaments. The University is also one of only five teams to compete in three consecutive bowl games and three consecutive NCAA basketball tournaments. NC State is also currently undergoing massive renovations and improvements to its athletic facilities, including a new baseball stadium and new tennis facilities.
