I was at that game. I think it was on Fox Sports. Also at the 2005 game in the Joel. What an atmosphere!

The two top games would be the ACC final with the shot and the triple overtime.

 

[DeacLaw05]

They normally save the '95 ACC final for ACC Tournament time.

Also, found the score of the '83 game--lost 80-78 in Greensboro...

Was that 83 game the infamous Warren Martin game?

Was that 83 game the infamous Warren Martin game?

Is that when the goofy Martin fell under the basket and Charlie Thomas hung on the rim to keep from falling on him?

 

[DeacLaw05]

It may be--I've got the DVR set to find out for sure.

Don't remind me. That was my senior year and I was at that game.

Watching these right now is akin to watching a video memorial of a close friend that recently passed away.

I think it might have been the very first ACC FOX game.

Watching the 2005 game would make me all kinds of sad

 

[DeaconBoss]

Two questions for those older than 7 when this season occurred...

1. What was behind the drop in production between John Toms' Jr. and Sr. years?

2. What were the causes of the 5 game losing streak to end the 82-83 season?

 

[LilburnDeac]

Is that when the goofy Martin fell under the basket and Charlie Thomas hung on the rim to keep from falling on him?

No, that was in the '85 ACC Tourney at the Omni in ATL.

[WindyCityDeac]

The incredible thing aout the 2005 game is we won it with Jgray going 3-12

Making 32 of 32 free throws tends to offset some poor shooting. Incredible that they were able to do that.
