1981 NCAA FINAL FOUR BROUGHT RARE ACC CLASH

Posted Mar 28, 2006

Perkins and Worthy were sufficiently dangerous inside that Sampson couldn't roam too far. Wood began to find holes in the Virginia defense, which he exploited with an assortment of mid-range, pull-up jumpers -- one after another after another. (ACC Sports Journal)
