Legacy of a Title
Posted Mar 29, 2012
It’s easy to forget these days, but NCAA championships weren’t always a rite of passage for North Carolina basketball fans. The Tar Heels, in fact, won “only” one — plenty of schools would love to be able to claim that many — of the first 43 NCAA tournaments. That title came in 1957, when they knocked off Wilt Chamberlain-led Kansas 54-53 in a triple-overtime national final to finish with a 32-0 record.
