The 1983 NCAA tournament ended with NC State’s Cinderella title thanks to a 54-52 upset win against No. 1 seed Houston. The No. 6 seeded Wolfpack, led by coach Jim Valvano, won on Lorenzo Charles’ buzzer-beating dunk after a missed desperation shot.
Even though NC State won the championship, Houston’s Akeem Olajuwon was named the Most Outstanding Player.
