When UVa Basketball Mattered; aka The Dark Ages

from CNNSI.

I see this is against Brigham Young and Danny Ainge, so I'm assuming it's the regional final when they beat BYU to go to the Final Four in 1981. When I was a young buck I had a book about the history of UVa basketball, and there was an awesome photo from the end of this game of a scramble for the ball, and tucked in Lee Raker's shorts as he dove was the pair of scissors they would use seconds later to cut down the nets. Of course I can't find that one, since legislation has of course been passed to keep Raker and Jeff Lamp off the internet, so. Sigh.
