5 1957 NCAA CHAMPIONS North Carolina s march toward the NCAA championship in the 1957 Final Four provided legendary head coach Frank McGuire with the defining moment of his career and the Tar Heel faithful with more than a few tense moments. Battle-torn and weary, the Tar Heels faced a seemingly insurmountable challenge as they headed into the third overtime period against Kansas in the national championship game. Having already taken three overtime periods to defeat Michigan State in the semifinals, the Tar Heels found themselves without national player of the year Lennie Rosenbluth, who had fouled out in the waning moments of regulation. They were playing a Kansas team led by Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain in the not so friendly confines of Kansas City, Mo. The Tar Heels fought on without Rosenbluth and found themselves behind by one point in the final seconds of the third overtime. After a missed shot, the ball landed in the hands of junior center Joe Quigg near the top of the key. All that stood between him and the national title was Chamberlain. Quigg drove the lane, drawing a foul from Chamberlain with six seconds remaining. After a Carolina time out, Quigg, a 72 percent free throw shooter, calmly stepped to the line and drained both shots, securing a victory and Carolina s second national championship. Carolina finished the season a perfect 32-0 en route to the Tar Heels first NCAA championship. Rosenbluth had 20 points and five rebounds in the championship game and Quigg scored 10 points and garnered nine rebounds. Carolina had its fair share of overtime experience entering the Final Four, securing an overtime victory over South Carolina and a double overtime victory over Maryland in the regular season. That experience may have been the difference as the Tar Heels continually came through with clutch plays throughout the Final Four. In the semifinal, neither team was able to open more than a six-point lead as Lennie Rosenbluth & Wilt Chamberlain 1957 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME NORTH CAROLINA 54, KANSAS 53 (3OT) March 23, 1957 Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Mo., (7,778) Kansas FG FT REB PF TP King Elstun Chamberlain Parker Loneski Billings Johnson Totals North Carolina FG FT REB PF TP Rosenbluth Cunningham Brennan Kearns Quigg Lotz Young Totals Kansas North Carolina Rebounds: Kansas 28, North Carolina 42 Officials: Conway, Anderson Pete Brennan & Frank McGuire Michigan State tested Carolina s mettle throughout the game. Junior forward Pete Brennan kept Carolina s championship hopes alive when he nailed a baseline jumper with three seconds remaining in the first overtime to extend the game to another period. Both teams struggled in the second overtime, scoring only one bucket each. Carolina finally pulled away in the third overtime period scoring the first six points and holding on to a victory. Rosenbluth was the star of the 1957 squad. His 27 points and 8.6 rebounds a game in regular season play led the Tar Heels to the ACC championship and the NCAA tournament berth. Three of the victories came over fellow Big Four and ACC team Wake Forest, with whom Carolina had developed an intense rivalry. At the end of his senior season, Rosenbluth held on to every major Carolina basketball record except for free-throw percentage and total rebounds in a season. The championship season was Carolina s only trip to the Final Four under the tutelage of Frank McGuire, who left in 1961 to coach in the NBA. He later went on to coach at South Carolina. In nine years, McGuire led the Tar Heels to three Top 10 finishes and six Top 20 finishes.

6 1982 NCAA CHAMPIONS Every Carolina Basketball fan remembers The Shot. It is the most famous play in Tar Heel history and one of the most famous in college athletics. It won Dean Smith his first national championship and launched Michael Jordan as the greatest player in the sport s history. Eric Sleepy Floyd had just hit a jumper in the lane to give Georgetown a lead as 61,612 fans looked on at the New Orleans Superdome. Carolina called a timeout with 32 seconds remaining. Smith instructed point guard Jimmy Black to draw the Hoya zone defense to one side of the court and look to get the ball inside to James Worthy. But Black couldn t get the ball to Worthy. Smith had designed the play so that if that happened, Black could swing the ball to an open man on the far side of the court. Black found that open man, freshman Michael Jordan. Jordan stood 16 feet to the left of the basket. Catch-jump-shoot. No hesitation. The ball found the bottom of the net. Carolina 63, Georgetown 62. Fifteen seconds remained on the clock. Georgetown s Fred Brown got the ball near mid-court and looked for an open teammate. He passed the ball in Floyd s direction, but instead found Worthy, who raced downcourt with the ball to seal the victory. It was appropriate that Worthy clinched the win, since he had already muscled and finessed his way through the Hoya defense en route to five dunks and 28 points. Worthy was not intimidated by the tenacious defense of Hoya freshman center Patrick Ewing, who logged two blocked shots and three steals to go with his 23 points and 11 rebounds NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME NORTH CAROLINA 63, GEORGETOWN 62 March 29, 1982 Superdome, New Orleans, La.

In fact, Carolina held the No. 1 ranking for all but five weeks in The Tar Heels posted a 32-2 record, losing only to Wake Forest at home when Perkins was sick and did not play and at Virginia. Carolina did beat the Cavaliers, 47-45, in the ACC Tournament championship game in Greensboro. Worthy had 16 points and Matt Doherty had 11 points and four assists. Carolina led at the half, but the game is most remembered for the Tar Heels using a delay game in the second half. Michael Jordan Leading with 7:34 to play, Carolina held the ball. Doherty hit three free throws in the last 28 seconds to win the game. Top-ranked and top-seeded Carolina then survived a scare from James Madison in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, beating the Dukes, 52-50, in Charlotte. A win over Alabama and a triumph over Villanova in Raleigh s Reynolds Coliseum sent the Tar Heels to New Orleans for the Final Four. Senior guard Jimmy Black was one of five starters in double figures in the regional final win over Villanova. Black had 11 points and 10 assists. Dean Smith on 1982 We had three starters back from the year before, plus Matt Doherty, who I counted as a co-starter in Two of our best games all year were in New Orleans against Houston and Georgetown. Jordan had his best game as a freshman in the final, but Worthy was the obvious MVP. His play gets overshadowed because of Michael s shot. And Perkins was a true hero for his play against Olajuwon in the semifinals. He was sensational. The play was No. 1 to post up Worthy, then have Perkins come in behind him. Or you could go crosscourt to the wing for Michael and he was wide open from feet. It looked good, I was right in line with him. Then we we put on our scramble defense. Worthy was out of position, but Jordan stopped the pass that made Fred Brown throw it away STATISTICAL LEADERS Player PPG RPG James Worthy Sam Perkins Michael Jordan Matt Doherty Jimmy Black Assist leader: Jimmy Black,

7 1993 NCAA CHAMPIONS Dean Smith had been there before. The last time his Tar Heels walked on the Superdome floor, they walked off as NCAA champions. Now, after a grueling ACC season that included five other Top 25 teams; after a tough road through the East Regional bracket that required an overtime victory to escape the final; after defeating a Roy Williamscoached Kansas squad that had beaten the Tar Heels just two years prior in the national semifinal Carolina was back on the Superdome floor playing for the national championship. The 1993 Tar Heels were ready. Center Eric Montross and senior forward George Lynch anchored the team and shooting guard Donald Williams provided the spark from the outside. Point guard Derrick Phelps ran the offense and a handful of role players brought everything together in typical Dean Smith fashion. Michigan was ready too, though. The raucous Wolverines, led by vocal center Chris Webber and the rest of the Fab Five, had lost the championship game in 1992 and were hungry to redeem themselves. They won a hard-fought overtime battle against Jamal Mashburn and the Kentucky Wildcats in the national semifinal, 81-78, and were confident they would return to Ann Arbor with a championship. The styles of the two teams couldn t have been any farther apart. The Tar Heels were a traditional Dean Smith team talented, disciplined and focused. The Wolverines had brought a brash, new feel to the game, famous for their black shoes, baggy shorts and playground style of play. The teams battled back and forth throughout the game. Michigan led by 10 in the first half, but Carolina rallied for a lead at intermission. The Wolverines built a lead with 4:30 left to play, but the Tar Heels scored nine unanswered points to take a lead with 1:03 to play. Trailing by four, Williams began the 9-0 run with a three-pointer, then Phelps hit a fastbreak layup to give UNC the lead with 3:07 to play. Baskets by Lynch and Montross upped the lead to five with a minute to go. Michigan responded with a Ray Jackson jump shot and a Chris Webber put-back to bring the Wolverines back to within with 36 seconds to play. Carolina junior forward Pat Sullivan was fouled with 20 seconds left and went to the line for a one-and-one. Sullivan connected on the first, but missed the second and Webber got the rebound with the Wolverines trailing Webber stumbled and appeared to travel, but the officials made no call. He then dribbled past halfcourt and found himself surrounded by the Tar Heels and called a timeout. However, Michigan did not have any timeouts remaining and the officials called a technical foul on the Michigan bench. Williams hit two free throws and Carolina marched on to a victory. It was only appropriate that Williams stood at the line at the end of the game, as he dominated the Final Four en route to Most Outstanding Player honors. Williams made five of seven three pointers and scored 25 points in both the national semifinal and championship games. The Tar Heels finished the season 34-4, winning 18 consecutive games at one point. Carolina had even faced Michigan early on in the season at the Rainbow Classic and lost, 79-78, courtesy a last-second shot from Wolverine point guard Jalen Rose. The 18-game win streak was snapped by a loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament championship game. The Tar Heels played that game without Phelps, who injured his back when he was fouled from behind on a layup attempt in the ACC semifinal against Virginia. Despite the loss to the Yellow Jackets, Carolina was No. 1 in the East Regional.

The Bearcats had played in the Final Four in Nick Van Exel hit six three-pointers in the first half and the Bearcats built a lead with 7:08 left in the opening half, but the Tar Heels rallied to pull within one at halftime. In the second half, Phelps clamped down on Van Exel, limiting him to just one field goal. Carolina led late in regulation, but Tarrance Gibson s driving layup with 35 seconds to play tied the game. The Tar Heels had a a chance to win at the buzzer, but Brian Reese s dunk attempt after an out-of-bounds play with 0.8 seconds left ricocheted off the back iron. Williams starred in overtime, hitting backto-back three-pointers and the Tar Heels hung on for a win. Lynch was the heart and soul of the team and recorded double-doubles in each of the last four NCAA Tournament victories. Dean Smith on 1993 We had a such great leader in George Lynch and our team had a lot of confidence. We were very poised. I know I had a lot of confidence in Derrick Phelps and Lynch. The last four games all were close games. Arkansas went down to the wire, Cincinnati we should have won in regulation, but won in overtime. Michigan was a great game with Donald Williams hitting key shots.

8 2005 NCAA CHAMPIONS It began with an upset loss to Santa Clara and ended by beating No. 1 ranked Illinois in St. Louis. Along the way, the Tar Heels went 33-4, won the ACC regular-season title with a 14-2 record and defied the experts who said they were too selfish to win a national title. Instead, led by seniors Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel and Melvin Scott, and under the tutelage of second-year head coach Roy Williams, the Tar Heels became the best team in the nation. Carolina led the country in scoring and assists and held the opposition to 40 percent shooting. Center Sean May arguably became the finest player in the country, racking up eight straight double-doubles and averaging 17.5 points and 10.7 rebounds. Point guard Raymond Felton joined May on the All-ACC first team and won the Bob Cousy Award as the best point guard in the country. He led the ACC in assists and hit 44 percent from three-point range. Carolina lost at Wake Forest and Duke, but clinched its first outright conference title since 1993 with a win over the Blue Devils in the regular-season finale. May had 26 points and 24 rebounds and Marvin Williams capped a rally from nine points behind with a threepoint play with 17 seconds remaining. UNC survived a first round scare in the ACC Tournament from Clemson in large part thanks to Felton s career-high 29 points. But Georgia Tech bounced the Tar Heels from in the semifinals behind Will Bynum s 35 points. Carolina earned a No. 1 seed and opened NCAA play in front of a raucous crowd in Charlotte. UNC took out any lingering frustrations from the ACC Tournament in the first half, shooting 73 percent from the floor en route to a advantage. Marvin Williams and Sean May combined for 39 points and 16 rebounds and Carolina opened its title run with a win. Iowa State was next in round two. Leading 36-33, UNC closed the first half with nine unanswered points. Iowa State never came within single digits in the second half. May had 24 points and 17 rebounds and Marvin Williams added 20 points and 15 boards. Fifth-seeded Villanova gave Carolina a stern test in Syracuse in the Sweet 16. The Wildcats went to a four-guard offense and built a 21-9 lead midway through the first half behind Randy Foye s hot shooting. May scored 12 of UNC s 29 points as the Tar Heels clawed to within four at the break. UNC took the lead for good on a McCants three with 7:20 to play and extended its lead to 10 points with 3:45 remaining. But Felton fouled out with 2:13 to play and the Wildcats pulled to within with 40 seconds left. Scott, who took over the point, canned two free throws for a four-point lead.

McCants had a key block and three-pointer in the final three minutes to secure the win. Michigan State led UNC by five at halftime in the national semifinals, but UNC outscored the Spartans, 54-33, in the second half to post an win. May scored 22 and Jawad Williams had 20. The Tar Heels held Michigan State to 34 percent shooting. No. 2-ranked Carolina squared off against top-ranked Illinois in the championship. The Illini had been ranked No. 1 since Dec. 6th. But the Tar Heels built a halftime lead behind 14 points from McCants and eight points and six assists from Felton.

9 FINAL FOURS FINAL FOUR APPEARANCES Team Appearances North Carolina 16 UCLA 14 Duke 14 Kentucky 13 Kansas 12 Bones McKinney grabs a rebound in the 1946 NCAA title game. Carolina has been to at least one Final Four in each of the last seven decades Carolina finished first in Southern Conference play with a 13-1 record, but was beaten by Wake Forest in the SoCon Tournament semifinals. Duke won the postseason title, but the NCAA Committee selected Carolina to represent District 3 in the NCAA Tournament at New York s Madison Square Garden. NYU was favored to beat UNC in the East Regional semifinal, but 27-year-old Bones McKinney scored 11 points to lead Carolina to a win. McKinney originally played at NC State, but enrolled at Carolina in January 1946 after being discharged from the U.S. Army. John Hook Dillon, a sophomore from Georgia and Carolina s leading scorer with 12.9 points per game, and Bob Paxton led Carolina past Ohio State in the East Regional final. The Buckeyes led by five with less than three minutes to play, but Paxton sent the game into overtime with a jump shot with under 20 seconds to play. Dillon scored the key shot in overtime as UNC held on for a win. Defending national champion Oklahoma A&M beat Carolina, 43-40, in the championship game, despite Dillon s 16 points. Sevenfoot center Bob Kurland had 23 points to lead the Aggies Junior forward Larry Miller, the ACC Player of the Year, and five heralded sophomores led the Tar Heels to a 22-6 record, an ACC title and first Final Four under head coach Dean Smith. Carolina reached the Final Four with a victory over Boston College in the Eastern Regional final. Senior forward Bob Lewis earned regional MVP honors after scoring 31 points in the championship game. Miller added 22 points and center Rusty Clark posted a double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds. The Tar Heels lost to Dayton, 76-62, in the national semifinals in Louisville, Ky. Flyer forward Don May scored 34 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Clark had 19 points and 11 rebounds and Miller scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. The big thing is we had to win the ACC Tournament before we could even go to the NCAA Tournament, says Coach Smith. I was concerned about how we would do in the NCAAs in overcoming the excitement of winning the ACC Tournament. We did go to the Final Four with three sophomore starters that year. That was a thrilling time Carolina beat Ohio State, 80-66, to advance to the national championship game. Junior forward Bill Bunting had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Miller logged 20 points and six rebounds. Miller had earned All-America honors and was the MVP at the ACC Tournament for the second year in a row. Carolina played defending champion UCLA Charles Scott played on Final Four teams at Carolina in 1968 and for the championship in the Los Angeles Sports Arena. National Player of the Year Lew Alcindor scored 34 points and pulled down 16 rebounds to lead the Bruins to a win, their fourth title in five years. Miller led the Tar Heels with 14 points and six rebounds. We were ready this time for the NCAAs, based on the year before, says Coach Smith. We were great against undefeated St. Bonaventure with Bob Lanier in the opening round. The field was not seeded in those days. We faced Lew Alcindor and UCLA in the championship game. I do think that was the best college team I had ever seen to that date. The Tar Heels won the first of three straight ACC and NCAA regional titles in

10 FINAL FOURS Robert McAdoo was the 1972 ACC Tournament MVP and later had 24 points and 15 rebounds in the Final Four vs. Florida State First-team All-America Charles Scott led Carolina with 22.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Carolina advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a stellar comeback victory over Duke in the ACC finals. Led by Scott, who scored 40 points and nabbed five rebounds, the Tar Heels rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit to defeat the Blue Devils, Scott had 22 points, nine rebounds and six assists against Duquesne and 32 points, six rebounds and four assists against Davidson in the regional final. He hit the game-winner as time expired to give the Tar Heels the win over Lefty Driesell s Wildcats to send Carolina to the Final Four. The Boilermakers Rick Mount scored 36 and Bill Keller added 20 to lead Purdue to a victory in the national semifinals The Tar Heels earned an NCAA bid with a victory over Maryland in the ACC Championship, avenging an earlier overtime loss to the Terps. George Karl had 18 points and Dennis Wuycik added 16 to lead UNC to a rout of South Carolina in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Wuycik (18), Robert McAdoo (17) and Karl (16) led UNC to a win over Penn in the regional final. Carolina lost to Florida State, 79-75, in the Final Four. McAdoo had 24 points and 15 rebounds, but his teammates made 19 of 51 shots from the floor, and the Tar Heels could not overcome a 13-point halftime deficit. Ron King Phil Ford, Dean Smith and the Tar Heels reached the 1977 NCAA championship game. led Florida State with 22 points. This was one of our great teams, says Coach Smith. We played extremely well to get to the Final Four, paying back South Carolina for beating us in the ACC Tournament the year before. We beat a very good Penn team. We were ranked No. 2 in the nation and UCLA was No.1. I think we looked past Florida State ahead to UCLA. McAdoo fouled out with 13 minutes to play. Al Wood scored 39 points in the 1981 Final Four win over Virginia Injuries dominated the storylines in the incredible run to the championship game. In the second round, Phil Ford scored 27 points to lead the Tar Heels, playing without an injured Walter Davis, to a win over Purdue. On St. Patrick s Day, the Tar Heels trailed Notre Dame by 14 in the second half, but John Kuester had 14 points, eight assists and seven steals and Ford scored 29 points, including two free throws with two seconds remaining, to earn a win. Davis, despite a broken finger, scored 21 points as the Tar Heels beat Kentucky, 79-72, in the East Regional final. The Tar Heels trailed UNLV, at the half, in the national semifinals, but the Tar Heels prevailed, 84-83, behind freshman Mike O Koren s 31 points and eight rebounds. Davis made all seven of his field goal attempts and finished with 19 points. In the championship, Al McGuire s Warriors built a lead, but Carolina surged ahead in the second half. However, Butch Lee (19), Bo Ellis and Jim Boylan (14 apiece) led Marquette to the title. Coach Guthridge called that our most amazing year, says Coach Smith. We had more huggers that year that means when the game is over we are all hugging in the dressing room. We lost our All-America center Tom LaGarde in February; then we had a great run. Walter couldn t shoot against Notre Dame, but Phil happened to make free throws even with his hyper-extended elbow. We held the ball against Kentucky in the second half to go to the Final Four. Then O Koren came on and was 115

11 FINAL FOURS Senior Rick Fox led the 1991 Tar Heels to the Final Four. great against UNLV. We lost to a really good Marquette team. Jimmy Boylan was terrific against us in the final he once called wanting to transfer to Carolina, but I suggested he call Coach McGuire instead The Tar Heels swept through the West Regional with little trouble, beating Pittsburgh, Utah and Kansas State. Sam Perkins had 15 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in the regional semifinals and 16 points and 11 boards in the regional final against Kansas State. Wood was outstanding against the Wildcats, scoring 21 points and pulling down 17 rebounds. The national semifinal was a clash between the ACC regular season champion Virginia and ACC Tournament champion UNC. This time, the Tar Heels kept Ralph Sampson in check. Sampson scored only 11 points and Virginia could not find an answer for Wood, who scored 39 points and added 10 rebounds. The game was tied at 27 at halftime, but Carolina outscored Virginia, 51-38, in the second half to earn a victory. Bob Knight s Indiana Hoosiers beat the Tar Heels in the national championship game. The game was played only hours after an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Isiah Thomas led the Hoosiers with 23 points. Wood and Perkins combined for 29 points for UNC Toronto-born and Bahamas-raised Rick Fox was joined in the starting lineup by seniors Pete Chilcutt (center) and King Rice (point guard), junior guard Hubert Davis and sophomore forward George Lynch. Carolina cruised to the East Regional final, beating Northeastern, Villanova and Eastern Michigan, all by double-digits, then beat Temple, 75-72, in the New Jersey Meadowlands to return to the Final Four for the first time since Davis and Fox each scored 19 points and Rice added 12 points and seven assists to get by the Owls. Temple guard Mark Macon scored 31 points, but missed a 30-footer at the buzzer that would have sent the game into overtime. Kansas, coached by former UNC assistant Roy Williams, beat the Tar Heels, 79-73, in the national semifinals in the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. Davis led all scorers with 25 points, but Carolina shot just 38.4 percent for the game. Adonis Jordan led the Jayhawks with 16 points and seven assists. We were glad to get back to the Final Four in 1991, says Coach Smith. We had great leadership with King Rice, Rick Fox and Pete Chilcutt. We didn t play well in Indianapolis against Kansas. We hadn t been to the Final Four in a while and I think we went back to being happy to be there. Rasheed Wallace helped lead UNC to the 1995 Final Four. Getty Images UNC earned the No. 2 seed in the Southeast Region after losing in overtime to Randolph Childress, Tim Duncan and Wake Forest in the ACC championship game. Carolina trailed Murray State by a point at halftime in the first round, but won behind Jerry Stackhouse s 25 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Wins over Iowa State and Allen Iversonled Georgetown set up a regional final between No. 2 UNC and No. 1 Kentucky in Birmingham, Ala., the heart of SEC country. Stackhouse was brilliant with 18 points, 12 boards and six assists as Carolina won, Donald Williams had 18 points, Rasheed Wallace added 12 and the Tar Heels held Kentucky to 28 percent shooting from the floor (7 of 36 from three-point range). Defending NCAA champion Arkansas beat the Tar Heels, 75-68, in the national semifinals in Seattle. Stackhouse scored 18 points, but could only play 28 minutes due to a deep thigh bruise, an injury he suffered 12 seconds into the game. That was a special year, says Coach Smith. We lost five seniors and were not deep, but Stackhouse and Wallace were a year older and very talented. Before the regional final, we told the team Kentucky had their celebration party scheduled, and Stackhouse held up his hand and said, Yeah, I m going to go to it and celebrate. He was so fired up. What a great competitor. Kentucky was very good. It was tough winning in Birmingham. But I was really worried about stopping Allen Iverson and beating Georgetown. You never know what would have happened if Stackhouse had not gotten hurt against Arkansas Carolina began ACC play with three consecutive losses for the first time ever. The second of those losses was a Smith Center debacle in which Carolina led Maryland by 22 in the second half but lost by 10. However, the Tar Heels ran off an improbable 16-game win streak, won the ACC Tournament and earned another trip to the Final Four. After sneaking by Fairfield in the first round, the Tar Heels beat Colorado, 73-56, in Winston- Salem to give Smith his 877th win, breaking Adolph Rupp s all-time record. All-America forward Antawn Jamison scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the East Region semifinal against

12 FINAL FOURS Robert Crawford California. Shammond Williams scored 22 points and Vince Carter notched 18 points and seven rebounds against Louisville in the East Regional final. Carolina shot poorly in Indianapolis in the Final Four, connecting on a season-low 31.1 percent from the floor, and was beaten by Arizona, Carter had 21 points and Jamison had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Arizona guards Miles Simon and Mike Bibby scored 24 and 20, respectively. Fairfield was a remarkable game, says Smith. That was probably our best offensive game since Loyola Marymount (1988), but they kept making threes. There was too much going on about the number of wins and the record. I thought it could affect us against Colorado. Then I was really impressed with our team against Louisville. We had a big lead and they cut it to six and I took a timeout. I said, We could let them have it, we ve had a pretty good year, and Ademola Okulaja spoke up and said What do you mean? And we went on to beat them pretty badly Most of the players from the 1997 Final Four squad returned, including All-America candidates Jamison, Carter and Williams and ACC assist leader Ed Cota. Although the players were the same, Bill Guthridge was in his rookie season as head coach. Dean Smith resigned in October and turned over the reins to Guthridge, who was an assistant under Smith for the previous 30 years. Jamison averaged 22.9 points and 10.2 rebounds to win ACC and National Player of Vince Carter played on Tar Heel Final Four teams in 1997 and 98. Robert Crawford the Year honors. Carolina was No. 1 in the country for eight weeks and regained the top spot in the final poll after an win over Duke in the ACC Tournament championship game. Carolina beat UNC Charlotte in overtime in the second round behind Williams 32 points, then toppled rising powers Michigan State and Connecticut in Greensboro by double-digit margins. Utah built a 13-point halftime lead in the national semifinal and Carolina could never pull even, despite Carter s 21 points. The Tar Heels shot just 39.1 percent in the game, and Jamison was held to 14 points in his final collegiate contest. The ACC Tournament championship was rewarding, particularly because we beat the three teams that had beaten us in the regular season NC State, Maryland and Duke, says Guthridge. I knew we had a great team, and that was evident when Connecticut and Michigan State the teams we beat to get to the Final Four won the next two national championships The Tar Heels entered NCAA Tournament play as a No. 8 seed after a disappointing season that included a four-game losing streak and a first-round exit in the ACC Tournament. The No. 8 seed equaled the lowest in UNC history. Center Brendan Haywood scored a career high 28 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Tar Heels to an victory over Missouri in the first round. Carolina, led by forward Jason Capel, National Player of the Year Antawn Jamison was the MVP of the 1998 East Regional. Tom Copeland/Greensboro News & Record stymied third-ranked and No. 1 seed Stanford in the second round, holding the Cardinal to 34 percent shooting. Freshman Joseph Forte led all scorers with 17 points. Forte scored 22 points and Carolina overcame a seven-point deficit with Haywood on the bench to beat Tennessee, 74-69, in Austin, Texas, in the regional semifinal. Cota scored key late baskets and Carolina got stellar post play off the bench from Julius Peppers. Forte had 28 points and eight rebounds in the regional final to beat Tulsa. Carolina lost to Florida in the national semifinals in Indianapolis despite Haywood s 20 points and 12 rebounds. The Tar Heels overcame a 15-point deficit to take the lead in the second half, but fell behind after Cota went to the bench with four fouls. This was a determined group of players, says Guthridge. They overcame a lot of adversity in the form of injuries, illness, and some tough losses, to get to the Final Four. I couldn t have been happier or prouder than I was for that group of players to make it to Indianapolis. We beat a good Missouri team and the top seed Stanford in Birmingham and that gave us great confidence to beat Tennessee and an outstanding Tulsa team. Ed Cota and South Regional MVP Joseph Forte celebrate the 2000 Final Four berth. 117

Fittingly, Carolina won the title by sweeping its in-state rivals, beating NC State by three points, Wake Forest by 10 and Duke by nine in the title match. Larry Miller was selected MVP after scoring 25.7 points and grabbing 8.3 rebounds per game. Bob Lewis (18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds) joined Miller on the first-team all-tournament squad The Tournament moved again in 1968 for the first year of a three-year stay in Charlotte. UNC s semifinal game against South Carolina was a fierce battle. The Gamecocks sent the game into overtime with an 18-4 run to tie the score at 74. The Tar Heels came from behind in overtime and won on baskets by Grubar and Gerald Tuttle.
