A group of New Yorkers led North Carolina to ‘57 NCAA title over Wilt Chamberlain, Kansas
Posted Apr 16, 2022
UNC won that 1957 game in triple overtime by beating Wilt Chamberlain, using a roster of imported New Yorkers coaxed to Chapel Hill by Frank McGuire, a legendary coach and son of an NYPD officer. Lennie Rosenbluth, now 89, was the team’s star. The dynasty at Chapel Hill was started by New Yorkers. “32-0,” Joe Quigg, the team's starting center, said.
