Posted Mar 30, 2016
No matter what happens on Saturday in Houston, it’s almost impossible that it could be any weirder than what occurred in Indianapolis 25 years ago today. The Tar Heels faced Kansas in the day’s first game. It was a senior-laden UNC team led by King Rice, Pete Chilcutt, and Rick Fox, who had gotten Dean Smith back to the Final Four for the first time since 1982. (GoHeels.com)
