March 5, 1977: UNC Defeats Virginia to Win ACC Championship
Posted Mar 5, 2014
The Tar Heels showed up with Walter Davis in uniform but the Olympian from Pineville was forced to the bench with an injury to the index finger on his shooting hand, the injury he received in the win over N.C. State. It was only Saturday morning that officials discovered the finger was broken. Davis, with the finger taped to his middle finger, made his entrance with 15:48 left and Virginia holding a 46-43 lead.
