TRACKING THE PACK
PACK PICTURE
"A very special night for all of us inductees into the Hall of Fame, especially for
our team — it's a chance after 36 years for us to get back together, and we're
having a wonderful time. But my heart goes out to the ones who cannot make
it: the late Jim Valvano, the late Lorenzo Charles, the late Quinton Leonard,
Ed McLean from our '83 team. We're thinking about those guys because it's a
special moment for our team and to be a part of something that's bigger than
yourself is humbling, and it makes it so emotional and feel good about your ex-
perience here at NC State." — Former NCSU star guard Dereck Whittenburg on the
1983 team getting inducted into the Wolfpack Hall of Fame (Technician)
"It will be a good opportunity to celebrate what
this team did. This is for all of them. We accom-
plished something special, something that was
not good, but great. It's something that no one
thought we could do. We did something that even
some of the greatest players in the history of the
game didn't do." — Former NC State point guard
and head coach Sidney Lowe on the 1983 national
title squad being inducted (TheWolfpacker.com)
