46-33. Wow....I am glad college implemented the shot clock a couple decades ago. When I was a kid, I remember watching Dean Smith’s Tarheels run the mind-numbing four corner stall against Lefty Driesell’s Terps. I don’t miss it.

Dean Smith's four corners offense was the VERY reason why the NCAA instituted the 45 second shot clock. Especially after the 1982 ACC conference final when North Carolina used it to stop the University of Virginia, and boy did it annoy everyone watching it at the game and on national TV (ABC showed this game nationally).
