Chansky’s Notebook: No. 1, Not Done

Posted Aug 5, 2021
Year No. 1 has helped UNC become No. 1 in almost every decade. In 1971, Dean Smith won the ACC regular season with a team picked to finish 6th. In 1981, the Tar Heels came off Smith’s sixth Final Four by replacing senior Al Wood with a freshman from Wilmington named Michael Jordan. In 1991, UNC broke a nine-year absence from the Final Four.
