the Univ of Charmin beat ginny in the 70s
Actually, it was Chaminade, in 1982, back when UVA had three-time national player of the year Ralph Sampson and was ranked #1. I do very much remember this game. The Patrick Ewing - Sampson rivalry was amazing. We all know who had the better pro career.
The result of the game initially was not widely reported in the U.S. media, as it concluded after 3:00 in the morning on the East Coast.[4] Only one sportswriter not based in Hawaii attended the game, Wilbon. He was already in Honolulu on assignment from The Washington Post as he was sent to cover the University of Maryland's performance in the Aloha Bowl, and decided to take in the basketball game as well.[10] In addition, the contest was not televised.[11] However, Sports Illustrated and the Los Angeles Times later identified the game as the greatest upset in the history of college basketball.[2][3] Author Chuck Klosterman went further, calling the Silverswords' win "the biggest upset in collegiate sports history".[12] Chaminade gained increased prominence after the game, which caused the school to cancel a plan to change its name to the University of Honolulu.[1] The Silverswords finished the 1982–83 season with a record of 33–2.[13]
