1999 : Burlington Cummings 70, Bunn 67
The balance of Cummings—all five starters scored in double figures—offset the 33-point, 12-rebound, sixassist MVP effort by Bunn's Troy Wheless, although he was harassed into 11 of 35 field-goal shooting. The Cavaliers (26-3) got 16 points and 11 boards from Victor Leath while Roc Alston contributed 15 points. The Cavs rallied from a 29-24 halftime deficit and led 48-47 after three quarters, and no more than four points separated the two clubs after that.
