1 ACC basketball team in the top 25

Wow. As someone who grew up in the 70s and 80s watching Thompson, Nance, Ford, Rollins, Worthy, Price, Jordan, Sampson, Bias, Dawkins etc. this is really sad. I don't think we really appreciated all those great players, teams, and games at the time. Great memories watching those midweek games with my dad on Jefferson Pilot sponsored C.D. Chesley network before the 4-letter network took over.

Remember that duo well during the heyday of ACC basketball. There was always a top 10 match-up to see.

Yep! "Hello everyone I'm Jim Thacker along with Billy Packer." My dad would always bought a TV guide each week. First thing I would do is look and see who was playing on TV that week. If Tigers were on TV that night, I would be looking forward to the game all day while at school. Kids today have no clue what it was like when every game wasn't on TV. Made it more special,

Absolutely. Thacker and Packer. That's back in the day when the Tigers would get squished in just about every ACC game. Now, we only get squished about 1/2 the times. Definite improvement.

Yes I remember well, and I would "Sail with the Pilot all the way and get on board the Pilot ship today." Remember the music too!

Yep, those were some glory years for the ACC. One of the many reasons I chose to go to Clemson in 1977 was so I could watch ACC basketball, cause like someone said very few games were on TV and LJ would be packed & rocking for most conference games.

Well that should be good for the Clemson's men's team. Now maybe we can win a few against the likes of FSU cause we sure can't beat those power house team like Miami.
