After a week's worth of voting, the verdict is finally in.

According to you, the fans, the 1974 N.C. State Wolfpack squad is the greatest basketball team in the history of the ACC. The Pack earned 64% of the vote (3,572-2,031), easily outgaining their opponent in the finals, the Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley and Grant Hill-led 1992 Blue Devils.

The 1974 State squad, led by David Thompson, Tom Burleson, and Monty Towe, lost only once on their way to the national title, beating Bill Walton and the seven-time defending champion UCLA Bruins along the way.

State wouldn't have even made it to the NCAA Tournament that year if they hadn't beaten Len Elmore's Maryland Terrapins in what was arguably the greatest game ever played , because at that time only the ACC Tournament winner made it to the "Big Dance."

When asked about who would win the hypothetical game between the two star-studded teams, Wolfpack legend Tom Burleson wouldn't guarantee a victory, but did comment on who he thought would get the better of the Laettner/Burleson matchup in the post.

"Well, Laettner's not a true 7-footer," said the 7-foot-2 Burleson. "He's gonna fall into the same category as Elmore as far as he's a great center, but Laettner's not seven feet tall...and I've never had anybody under seven feet that could guard me."

While he admitted that the Bobby Hurley vs. Monty Towe matchup would be close, the Newland Needle thought Thompson would put the '74 squad over the top.

"It's like Elmore used to say, 'you just don't know how stinkin' good David Thompson is until you play against him'. David probably would have lifted us over and above them - whenever he needed to turn it up, he'd turn it up."
