Almost forgot 2/25/81 73-66 OT win over Ralph Sampson and Virginia. Frank Johnson scored 22 in his final home game. Post-game, the quad got an epic rolling and Johnson was serenaded with chants of "Hollywood! Hollywood!"
More context that was #12 Wake vs. #3 UVA (some luster taken off by ND beating #1 UVA two days before on Sunday).
The week after the superbowl game against UNC, #13 Wake 106 Temple 68 @ McGonagal Hall sitting in the student section. Worst home loss ever for Temple. While unranked, Temple lost in the final 8 in the NCAAT, so much more impressive given where Temple wound up. Rodney with 34 and Childress with 26. For that week, we were probably the best team in the country despite our 13/9 ranking (crushed #3 UNC at home, won at NC State and destroyed Temple on the road).
