25 Greatest Games in UNC Basketball History: No. 19 - Tar Heels Beat UNLV in 1977 Final Four

Posted Jun 6, 2019
With their pressing “Amoeba” defense, the 1977 UNLV squad harassed opposing teams into waves of turnovers and capitalized on them at an historic rate. The Rebels averaged 107 points per game, in an era that predated the shot clock and three-point line. By the time they squared off with the Tar Heels, they were 29-2. Few gave UNC much of a chance.
