The University of North Carolina's basketball program is one of the most popular and profitable programs in the nation[1]. The Tar Heels have won four NCAA National Championships and 15 ACC Championships. The program is most well-known for its famous alumni, such as Michael Jordan, illustrious coaching history, and a fierce rivalry with the Duke University Blue Devils (a team located only eight miles away in Durham, North Carolina). The rivalry is widely regarded as one of the most intense in all of sports.

[edit] Team History

The University of North Carolina has a long history as one of the winningest college basketball teams in the United States. UNC began playing basketball with its first game against Virginia Christian, on January 27, 1910, a 42-21 win for UNC[2]. Since then the Tar Heels have amassed an all-time 1,883-689 (.732) record (through the 2005-2006 season)[2]. UNC's 1,883 wins is second all time, behind the Kentucky Wildcats' 1,926 wins.

The 1924 Tar Heels squad was awarded the championship by the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1936. The Helms Foundation named its own college basketball champion for each year from 1936 through 1982. The foundation also retroactively awarded championships from 1901 through 1935.

The Tar Heels won their first NCAA Championship under coach Frank McGuire in 1957. The 1957 championship team was led by Lennie Rosenbluth. Hall of fame head coach Dean Smith coached two NCAA Championship teams for UNC, in 1982 and 1993. The 1982 squad was led by James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and a young Michael Jordan. The 1993 team starred Donald Williams, George Lynch and Eric Montross. Roy Williams, the current head coach of the Tar Heels, won his first NCAA Championship and the fourth for the university in 2005. The 2005 squad was led by Raymond Felton, Sean May and Marvin Williams.

UNC was a member of the Southern Conference from the founding of that conference in 1921 through 1953[3]. In 1953, UNC split off from the Southern Conference and became a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference[4].
