50 years ago, Charlie Scott had a performance for the ages in Charlotte’s ACC tournament
Posted Mar 9, 2019
Fifty years ago, the ACC tournament came to Charlotte and produced one of the most memorable individual performances in history during a UNC-Duke final played in a smoky haze on an ice-cold floor at what is now known as Bojangles’ Coliseum. Charlie Scott scored 40 points in that 1969 game, which is still a record for an ACC tournament final.
