Even 10 years later, Jimmy V's ESPY speech brings me chills and tears.

RECAP | GAME LOG
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Tony Skinner, Cory Violette and Richard Fox gave No. 25 North Carolina State a rough introduction to the Jimmy V Classic.
Skinner contributed 14 points, Violette 12 and Fox nine and a career-high 17 rebounds as Gonzaga handed the Wolfpack their first defeat, 69-60.
The Bulldogs (6-3) took the lead for good, 49-47, on a 3-pointer by Blake Stepp with 9:31 to play that commenced an 8-0 run. The Wolfpack (5-1) got no closer than three points thereafter.
It was Gonzaga's first victory in four games this season against a major-conference opponent. The Bulldogs previously lost to Indiana, Kentucky and Georgia.
Scooter Sherrill scored a career-high 22 points for NC State, which won the national championship in 1983 under late coach Jim Valvano, for whom the tournament is named.
The Wolfpack were playing in the Jimmy V Classic for the first time in its eight-year history. Proceeds are used for researching cancer, the disease that claimed Valvano's life.
