Carolina teams have swept 26 basketball championships in 60 years of intercollegiate competition. Tradition Those are just a few of the achievements which have made Carolina basketball so big-time and have placed the Tar Heels among the big names of the college game. In 60 years of cage competition, Tar Heel teams have won a total of 954 games while losing only 413. Fifty of the school's Nothing could be finer than basketball at Carolina! 60 teams have posted winning records.

Carolina basketball hit a new peak the past four years under Coach Dean Smith. Those great teams compiled an overall record of 99 victories and only 24 defeats— an unbelieveable mark. That's a yearly average of 25-6. In Atlantic Coast Conference play, the four-year record is 54 wins and only 12 defeats. And perhaps even more amazing is the fact that the Tar Heels have beaten their tough Big Four rivals— N. C. State, Wake Forest and Duke— 26 times in the past 31 games. Last year, the Tar Heels toppled North Carolina State twice and the Wolfpack went on to win the league championship. Basketball always has been a boom sport at Carolina and the crowds which turn out for the games are proof of the popularity of the sport. Every home game in Carmichael Auditorium is a sellout. Students sleep in Carmichael the night before the tickets go on sale to assure themselves of getting a ticket. The beautiful Carolina gymnasium, called "Blue Heaven" seats 8,800 and is regarded as one of the most comfortable arenas to be found anywhere. Carolina teams play big-name foes. In fact, the Tar Heel schedule has been rated one of the 10 toughest in America three of the past four years. Carolina travels from coast-to- coast, meeting such perennial powers as UCLA, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, Purdue, Utah, Princeton, Indiana, Villanova, St. John's, Duquesne and Georgia Tech. But no- where is the competition tougher than in Carolina's Atlantic Coast Conference. The teams in that powerful league are Wake Forest, Virginia, South Carolina, Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina State, Duke and Carolina. The Tar Heels have produced many of the big-name players in college basketball. The current crop of professionals who played at Carolina are Billy Cunningham of the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlie Scott of the Virginia Squires, Larry Brown of the Virginia Squires, Doug Moe of the Virginia Squires, Larry Miller of the Carolina Cougars, Bob Lewis of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Bill Bunting of the New York Nets. Yes sir, basketball on The Hill is really big-time. And we're just getting warmed up. Record Against All Opponents ^ UNC UNC UNC Opp UNC UNC UNC Opp Games Games Won Lost Pts. Pts Won Lost Pts. Pts.
