21. Mike O'Koren (1976-80, PF/SF): O’Koren’s list of accolades are impressive: three 1st-team All-Americas, two 1st-team All-ACCs, and a a 2nd-team All-ACC. O’Koren’s most memorable performance as a Tar Heel was probably the 1977 Final Four when he poured in 31 points against UNLV in the national semis. O'Koren was at his best in big games.
