"I started washing my dad’s car because I didn’t want to watch the guys lose," Phil Ford, who was a senior in high school at the time, said. "I had to go back inside to get something and the game was still on. To make a long story short, I didn’t see it live but I’ve seen replays of it." The "it" in question? One of the most iconic shots in UNC Basketball history. (Daily Tar Heel)
