Thirty-two years ago this week, No. 1 seed North Carolina entered a Sweet 16 game as a heavy favorite against Indiana. That Tar Heels team boasted just a wee bit of talent, with a roster that included Kenny Smith, Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty and some junior guard named Michael Jordan.
It would turn out to be Jordan's last game in a college uniform, as Indiana won 72-68. The old joke is that Dean Smith is the only guy who ever held Jordan under 20 points per game. Well, Bob Knight –- and Dan Dakich, a feisty Hoosiers guard before he became a feisty media commentator -- somehow kept His Airness grounded with only 13 points (we double- and triple-checked the box score) while upsetting one of the most talented college teams ever.
