anyone remember details on that great S Carolina team in the early 70's .. had a kid named Kevin Joyce and lost to Maryland in the ACC Finals
I dont remember the details but that was back when only 16 teams went and trying to recall the details .. think Maryland had Len Elmore but could be wrong
I don't think it was Maryland in the Finals vs S.C.
Elmore was with Maryland then yes, along with Tom McMillan and John Lucas...Maryland was stuck with the unenviable task of trying to get past those NC State teams to advance on to the tournament, which they did one year, only becase NC State was on probation....
The following year NC State beat the #3 Terrapins 103-100 in 3 overtimes in the ACC tournament in Greensboro NC (where else?), to advance on and eventually win it all...while Maryland watched the tournament from the outside.
