ESPN 30 for 30 Short to feature 1981 NCAA Tournament Consolation game between Virginia, LSU

The 1981 Virginia Basketball team will be featured on ESPN's 30 for 30 Shorts, the network recently announced.

As part of five newly-announced documentaries, "No Kin of Mine" will examine the 1981 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Consolation game between the LSU Tigers and Virginia Cavaliers, which tipped off less than three hours following the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. The film is set to debut online at 10:00 a.m. on March 8, and will be broadcast during the 6:00 p.m. hour of SportsCenter on ESPN on March 11.

Here's the full description of the short, directed by Marc Kinderman:

Rudy Macklin's jersey is hanging from the rafters at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly, and for good reason: He is the school's all-time leading rebounder.
