Four In Double Figures

Offensively, the Virginia scoring
attack was well-balanced, with four
players netting double figure totals.
Besides Kinn, who added 11 second
half points for a total of 29,
Mike Katos scored 20, Carmichael,
18, with 13 coming in
the crucial second half, and Mike
Wilkes, Virginia's most valuable
ex-substitute, netted 17.

For the Tigers, the scoring load
was shared, for the most part,
between Butch Zatezelo and Richie
Mehaffey. Zatezelo, who entered
the game as the ACC's number
two scorer, matched Kinn's 29
points, some five points above
his season average. Mehaffey,
younger brother of former
Clemson great, Rantly Mehaffey
bucketed 23 points and was instrumental
in giving the Tigers
their advantage on the backboards.

Even though the opponent was
not too terribly formidable, and the
victory not tremendously decisive,
the Virginia win is a significant
one. The Cavaliers, who have lately
received much criticism for
blowing their cool in the waning
minutes of the game, proved they
can win under pressure.
