The men's NCAA Final Four is set.

In a shocking Elite Eight upset, 11th-seeded N.C. State powered through to beat its longtime rivals, the Duke Blue Devils, 76-64, and paving the way to its first Final Four appearance since 1983.

An 11th seed is the lowest-seeded team to ever make the Final Four, tying the record with LSU (1986), George Mason (2006), VCU (2011), Loyola Chicago (2018) and UCLA (2021), according to the NCAA.

With just under seven minutes left, N.C. State pulled away with a double-digit lead, sealing the deal for the Wolfpack and kissing the Blue Devils' chances at yet another Final Four appearance goodbye.

Duke didn't have another lead for the rest of the game.
