Daniels: Hidden ACC Tournament Gems

Posted Mar 10, 2010
In 1982, Virginia and UNC took the floor in the most anticipated ACC title game since the Pack and Terps eight years earlier. The game featured four players who would be acclaimed on the ACC’s 50th anniversary list of the top 50 in 2003: Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Ralph Sampson. And Dean Smith took the air out of the ball, winning the ACC title but forcing the hand of the sport’s powers. Television was aghast. Purists were livid. Fans were deprived. (ACC Sports Journal)
