The story has been told here a number of times. Clemson finished first in the regular season in 1990 -- a team with Dale Davis and Elden Campbell up front. Cliff Ellis asked the other coaches if the ACC could recognize the regular season championship, since "we've never won anything else." (Or some such quote.)

'Wasn't that the Clemson team that lost to UConn in the Sweet Sixteen at the buzzer on a long pass and a 15-foot shot when there was only one second left. It may (or may not) have led to the adaptation of tenths of seconds in last minute of the game or OT. The next game was UConn-Duke and the first of Laettner's miracle shots -- in OT at the buzzer on the "Special" play'
