Triangle Timehop: Today in local college basketball history (March 26)
Posted Mar 26, 2020
March 26, 1977: UNC beats UNLV 84-83 to advance to Dean Smith's second national title game. Carolina trailed at the half - remember, this UNC team was a veritable MASH unit at this point, with Tommy LaGarde out for the year and Phil Ford and Walter Davis both banged up - but they rallied in the second half and went into Four Corners, then held on.
