Legendary ACC Team No. 2: 1957 North Carolina

Posted May 30, 2009
No NCAA Division I men’s college basketball team has ever finished with a record better than 32-0. And only two have achieved that. The 1976 Indiana Hoosiers went 32-0 and defeated Michigan in the national championship. It was the first of three crowns for Bobby Knight. The 1957 North Carolina Tar Heels are the only other college team to finish with a 32-0 record, making them one of the best teams ever in ACC history. (Buster Sports)
