One of the Best Teams to Never Win it: The 1983-84 Tar Heels

Posted Apr 19, 2020
The 1983-84 Tar Heels rolled to a 16-game win streak to open the season, before freshman point guard Kenny Smith broke his wrist against LSU. He missed nine games, not returning until the regular-season finale against Duke. In those nine games, UNC ran its record to 21-0 before falling to Arkansas. They regrouped, and finished with five more wins. (Tar Heel Blog)
