The 25 Greatest Games in UNC Basketball History: #17 - The 1975 ACC Tournament Championship

Once upon a time, many years ago, the NC State Wolfpack owned the North Carolina Tar Heels. From 1972 to 1975, Norm Sloan’s Pack beat Dean Smith’s Heels nine straight times. In the process, they completed a perfect season in 1973 (banned from the postseason due to recruiting violations) and followed it up by going 30-1 and winning the 1974 National Championship. That title-winning side won the greatest game in ACC history to that point - the 1974 ACC title game against Maryland - and dethroned John Wooden’s Bill Walton-led UCLA Bruins in the Final Four.
