Not sure how many people have dipped into the ACC Vault on theACC.com. I thought in the spirit of the recommend a Netflix instant watch thread, recommend some of the all time great NC State and ACC games to look back and watch. It's definitely a welcome addition to the ACC website with the level of play in the conference being down this year. Unfortunately the vault only goes back to 1983 so no David Thompson games

I'll go ahead and nominate 1995 Wake over UNC in the ACC Championship, which capped off Randolph Childress having one of the greatest ACC tournament runs of all time (107 points in 3 games/3 days).

I've been meaning to check that thing out. Disappointed it only goes back to 1983. I've seen games and clips from that year, but haven't seen much from the 1974 team. I would love to watch some of those games. Someone had one on VHS or something outside of Reynolds they were showing at one of the campouts a few years ago.

1989 nc state vs wake 4OT

2001 duke vs maryland, the "jason williams game"

1991 unc-state the "tom guggliotta game"

1998 I believe unc-state the "cc harrison game"

Duke-unc 1998. Brand, jamison, carter

Duke v unlv 92 if they have that

And yes the randolph childress game is a must see

1/23/2011 6:22:08 PM

I meant to say 99 duke-unc when brand led the 14pt comeback or whatever and then haywood bricked the game winning fts


2001 unc-duke was also a classic but carolina wins so why watch it

1996 Clemson over UNC in the ACC tourney (Terrell McIntyre and Greg Buckner going off) was pretty solid as well.

why did it take so long for broadcasters to realize that flashing the score every few minutes wasn't a good idea?

"Duke v unlv 92"

unless they played a 3rd time i dont remember, this was 1991

That, and the ACC Vault is really the ACC Network (Raycom) vault which means no NCAA tournament games. I think all the games they have are ACC vs ACC games, either regular season or ACC tournament.

2005 Miami game "The Bennerman off the backboard Game"

1/23/2011 7:04:37 PM

haha, in the 2003 game vs. UNC I totally forgot about that blatant foul by Hodge with a minute left that wasnt called that would have been his 5th... held the guys jersey and put him in a headlock ahhaha

1/23/2011 7:08:36 PM

Yes sorry I meant 91, you'd think as much as I know about that game I wouldn't have messed that up I mean I can tell you unlvs 6th man was george ackles and christian laettner was 12-12 ft haha

Also jamison and carter were not in that 99 game I misremembered that

1/23/2011 7:47:17 PM

George Ackles came and guest coached at a basketball camp I went to in Manteo. I've got a picture of me with him somewhere.

From that game/late Sendek era two things we are missing:

1) Making free throws
2) Josh Powell posting up 20+ feet from the basket

1/23/2011 8:06:23 PM

wow, that is fun. Just spent the last hour flipping through old games.

Wish they'd get this going for football as well. I do have a tape of a Iowa-NC State game from 1992 sitting around somewhere.

It's fun going back and watching some of those horrible teams from the 90s, only because I'd forgotten about so many of these garbage players like Rickey Daniels and Kevin Thompson.

I have to warn you, if you want to watch Bennerman make that beautiful running one handed dunk in 2006, you'll be forced to listen to Bobby Cremins scream "EEELIAN EPTIMAV!"

Also, I think this is a mistake, but they left in some of the commercials during the end of the 1987 WF game, so you get this awesome mullet-tastic big wheeler commercial for Mountain Dew.
