January 21, 1986
NC State guard Chris Corchiani sets ACC career records for assists and steals in the same game - an 89-76 victory over Marquette in Reynolds Coliseum. The Miami prep product picks up his 858th career assist in the first half to pass Clemson's Grayson Marshall, the old record-holder with 857 assists. Corchiani then records his 276th steal in the second half, breaking the record of 275 set by Wake Forest point guard Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues. The Wolfpack point guard finishes his career with 1,038 assists - still the second-highest total in NCAA history - and 328 steals - still the third-best total in ACC annals.

Duke Indoor Stadium, which opened in 1940, is re-named for former Blue Devil coach and athletic director Eddie Cameron in a ceremony before the Blue Devils take on No. 3-ranked North Carolina. In the first game played in "Cameron Indoor Stadium," Duke stuns the Tar Heels, 76-74, on a last-second jump shot by unheralded guard Robbie West.
January 26, 1993
Clemson's Sharone Wright records his second career triple-double in an 82-72 victory over Maryland in Littlejohn Coliseum. The junior big man has 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocked shots. It was at the time just the fourth triple-double recorded by an ACC player against another ACC team. Wright also had 21 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocked shots in a victory over UNC Greensboro earlier that season, making him one of just four players in league history with two triple-doubles.
January 27, 1958
Unranked Duke upsets previously unbeaten and No. 1-ranked West Virginia 72-68 in Duke Indoor Stadium. The Mountaineers' sophomore sensation Jerry West scores 20 for the visitors, but Blue Devil forward Jim Newcome matches those 20 points and adds 14 rebounds as Duke posts its first-ever victory over a No. 1 team.
January 27, 2001
No. 2 Duke rallies from a 10-point deficit with 55 seconds to play and pulls out a 98-96 overtime victory over No. 8 Maryland in College Park, Md. Blue Devil sophomore Jason Williams scores eight points and has a steal in a 13-second span to get Duke close. Senior Nate James forces the overtime by hitting two free throws with 21 seconds left. In the extra period, senior Shane Battier, en route to winning the national player of the year award, hits the game-winning 3-pointer, then blocks a potential game-tying jumper by Maryland's Juan Dixon. Duke's miraculous comeback would be just the first of four memorable confrontations between the Terps and Blue Devils in 2001. Maryland would win the rematch in Durham, but Duke wins round three when James' late tip-in provides the winning margin in the ACC Tournament semifinals in Atlanta. The Blue Devils set up their third national championship by rallying from a 22-point first-half deficit to edge the Terps in the NCAA semifinals in Minneapolis.
January 30, 1986
Virginia knocks off unbeaten and No. 1-ranked North Carolina, 86-73, in front of a raucous crowd at University Hall in Charlottesville, Va. The 21-0 Tar Heels, coming off a string of victories over No. 3 Duke, No. 4 Georgia Tech and No. 16 Notre Dame, can't cope with the unranked Cavaliers - especially the work of center Olden Polynice (19 points, 10 rebounds) and forward Tom Sheehey (11 points, 10 rebounds). The Cavaliers snapped a seven-game losing streak versus the Tar Heels.
February 1, 1955
Virginia's Bill Miller records the first triple-double in ACC history with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 98-91 loss to NC State in Reynolds Coliseum. The feat was unusual because assists were not always kept as an official stat before the 1973 season.
February 1, 1989
Clemson's Dale Davis has 21 points and 21 rebounds in an 85-82 upset of No. 3-ranked North Carolina in Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers snapped a seven-game losing streak versus the Tar Heels.
February 2, 1995
No. 2-ranked North Carolina survives an inspired effort by Duke to escape the pandemonium of Cameron Indoor Stadium with a 102-100 victory in double overtime. UNC gets 25 points from All-America forward Jerry Stackhouse and 24 from All-America center Rasheed Wallace. Duke gets 24 points and 13 rebounds from senior center Cherokee Parks and 20 points from freshman guard Trajan Langdon. The Tar Heels appear to have the game won at the end of the first overtime, leading by eight with 17 seconds left. But Duke, exactly matching UNC's legendary comeback against the Devils in 1974, ties the game with a buzzer-beating shot from just inside midcourt by sophomore guard Jeff Capel.
