UNC's first conference championship belongs to the men’s basketball team. Two years before the undefeated 1924 team, the 1922 team won the Southern Conference Tournament after finishing the regular season with a 9-5 record. They lost two games to the Durham YMCA, and went 3-3 in conference play. They were led by Cartwright Carmichael. (Tar Heel Blog)
