amazing how it's changed in 40 years. Where in 1974, you could have a super record, yet miss the tourney.

Those were the days when mostly tourney champs went dancing, very few at-large berths. 22-25 teams made the dance in '74. SCAR had consistently ranked Top 5 teams from '69-74 but up until '72 the ACC cock-blocked Carolina from the dance. In '72 we left the ACC because of it and around that time decided we were going to be a baseball and football school.

It's taking us awhile to regroup. We'll have a fine basketball program again one day.
