As CBS re-aired the 1983 NCAA championship game between NC State and Houston, some members of that Wolfpack team (and Jamie Valvano) took to Twitter to talk about it. Here are some highlights:
Super excited to relive one of the most exciting college basketball games in sports history on CBS. Always makes me nervous even after 37 years! #CardiacPack

We called Sid squid Because he passed the ball like he had eight arms #CardiacPack

Halftime locker room talk was the first time I sensed nerves from teammates and Jimmy V. The fact that we may be on the verge of something special started to sink in #CardiacPack

Time out, tie game. I checked in without even being told to. Final play strategy: Sidney Lowe drives from top of the key, Whit on one wing, me on the other. Houston had different plans. They come out in a zone trap and our best laid plans fall to pieces. #CardiacPack
