The year 1969 was a turning point in Washington sports history. The University of Maryland had hired Lefty Driesell to coach basketball. The Senators named Ted Williams as manager. The Washington Redskins hired Vince Lombardi as Head Coach and he had brought a winning attitude to the nation's capital. It marked a renaissance in sports interest in America's most transient of cities.

Rankings from AP Poll

Maryland participated in the ACC Final. The Final pitted two of the top teams in the country. It has been regarded by many to be the greatest ACC game in history — and one of the greatest college games ever. The game was instrumental in forcing the expansion of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship to 32 teams, allowing more than one bid from a conference. Maryland had six future NBA draft picks on the team. The six picks were Tom McMillen and Len Elmore (1974),[12] Tom Roy and Owen Brown (1975)[13] and John Lucas and Mo Howard (1976).[14] It is considered the greatest team that did not participate in the NCAA tournament.[15]

ACC tournament

The 1974 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball tournament was held in Greensboro, North Carolina at the Greensboro Coliseum from March 7–9. North Carolina State defeated Maryland in overtime 103–100 to claim the championship.
