The game pitted UNC sophomore Michael Jordan against Maryland freshman Len Bias. Jordan would go on to be the best NBA player of all-time, while Bias would be taken second overall in the 1986 NBA Draft before tragically passing away before his career even started. Future No. 1 pick Brad Daugherty and future No. 4 pick Sam Perkins were also on UNC.
