The ACC golden age Of TV was Thacker, Packer and McKinney. Those Jefferson Pilot "regional" games had a soul that ESPN cannot duplicate. Good times indeed.
I had Psych 101 with Walker. LOL, never occurred to me at the time he was a junior taking an introductory course. But, his corner shot made up for any academic shortcomings.
It seemed like every time the ACC Tournament was in Landover, MD, which is less than 10 miles from College Park, or in downtown Washington, DC, Maryland never won the ACC tournament
I love when the clip shows two cheery, chunky-sized, long-haired nerdy women, toward the end of the first half between Virginia vs. UNC in slow motion. So, adorable and those clothes!
The 74,75,76,Maryland teams were the greatest ever Mo Howard An John Lucas were the Best Guards in The acc ,for years . I love watching them play , Stanley hall 267 310 7873 if u have info on getting any game ( Maryland) tapes . Go terms.
I was really feeling that music from 5:41. Then I fell asleep and was dreaming that these UVA players were all Korean-Americans from 1976 and Jim Thacker was saying there Korean and American first names and the Korean last names. Weird!
@sptrfn. Wally could go left off a motion pass but not from a straight up dribble. He always went right and that one play where he scored to his left, he palmed the ball and the other time, his teammate bailed him out. Just bad scouting on Wally.

Thacker and Packer made these events so special and exciting. Great times
carolinafan2016 that was due to UNC-Charlotte kicking ass that year.

UVA showed some amazing resilience in that tournament.
This man was on the bench but Lamont Carr was on that Virginia team. The movie "Full Court Miracle" is based on him.
Really? Thats very cool - I didn't know any of this, but I do remember him.
Interesting, the UNC inside players were "second to none"? I think that night they were definitely second to someone.
@carolinafan2016 ..I did too. Only sore losers blame their own team. Virginia played smarter, and harder. Crybaby.
This still the best tournament performance ever.
I remember the headline: "Yes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia"
Jim Thacker to the Basketball Hall of Fame!
THAT CHEERLEADER IS MY MOM!!!! WAHOO WA!

@CarltonForWise. He had Adrian Dantley who took him to the gold.
@Ariamaluum. Actually, it probably was Jeremy Lin, a Tiawanese-American. He should have been playing in the ACC.
@tonytarheel55 that's true, but it hardly refutes my assertion, actually it's an observation, I used to live in Chapel Hill.
How come these old films are so dark?
@5thcharmed, any idea to whom it does belong? Where I can get a copy?
