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. (New York Daily News)
