1980s ACC BASKETBALL WAS THE GREATEST ERA IN ACC CONFERENCE HISTORY. All the teams had so much talent. It was so fun to watch

[@jvamerica1703]

I was there man!!! What a flash back

[@TURTLES_FOR_LIFEEE]

Wish Maryland was still in the ACC....

The golden age of the ACC. Props from this UNC alum to Buck Williams, a terrific player from that day.

[@leelennon4677]

I was so in-love with those UNC warm-ups

Tons of talent. Maryland was loaded and UNC had their best ever front court of Worthy, Perkins, and Wood.

NORTHERN NASH AND ROCKY MT LEGENDS PLAYING ON THE SAME TEAM! BUCK WILLIAMS AND CHARLES PITTMAN! IMAGINE THOSE RIVAL HIGH SCHOOL RIVALS IN THE LATE 70'S 🏀✌🏿😎

As a Rocky Mount alum and remembering this game is incredible. I saw these guys and George McClain playing in sunset park😊

Remember watching this at the fraternity house. I was a newly inducted member and this was icing on the cake!

The best ACC tournaments were in the late 1960s to 1975. Particularly 1973-74 (champion NC State). Only one team from the conference (the ACC champion) made it to the NCAA tournament. So the ACC tournament games were extra meaningful.

How did they get outta NC?

[@nysaxman]

@@jeffwright1722 what do you mean "how did they get out of nc?"

Another heartbreaking loss for Lefty and the Terps 🏀🐢 Maryland was a Nike school years before Carolina. I’m sure Jeffrey was watching this game down in Wilmington.

[@CapeFear1]

God I miss those days. College basketball is absolute garbage in today's game.

[@ChristopherMosley-dj3kt]

After growing up on this, today's game is repulsive to watch

[@willfromyadkinville]

4 corners and thats a wrap!!!!!! Woooooooooooooooo!

[@dontabaltimore1974]

81 wow

[@alfonsogreen2722]

It looked like Maryland was the "home team" but came up short

[@fairfaxcat1312]

“I hope we sometimes get into a facility where we can accommodate all the people,” the commissioner said. Clearly he’s not happy that he has to stage one of the rare championships not being played down on Tobacco Road. Capital Centre held about as many as any building down there. The league was about revenue for North Carolina. Good thing Maryland joined the Big Ten.

Four Corners was a bunch of bullshitery!!

Hey Joseph I'm working on a documentary and want to get in touch with you, have a question about this game, is there an email address or other way I can reach you at?

[@bobbygiles2712]

Should’ve went to the final 4

[@fairfaxcat1312]

It’s a good thing the Terps got out if that cheating Tarheelia league.
