    Who Doesn't Love Lists, Schadenfreude Version: Best UNC Losses Not To Duke

    I limited it to games since I began watching in the late 70’s, ranked based on:
    (i) importance of the game; then
    (ii) Carolina’s performance relative to the opposition; then
    (iii) upset/humiliation factor.

    Good work; that's quite a comprehensive list; I can see it was a labor of love on your part.

    My favorite was the Weber State game, which ranked #5 for you.

    Wake Forest vs UNC in the 1995 ACC Tournament finals, #17 on your list, was one of the most remarkable performances by an ACC player I've seen. Randloph Childress was just incredible.

    Check out the highlights

    Today I learned (while gleefully perusing the Inside Carolina forums) that a lot of Carolina fans seem to be most upset about the tournament losses in 1977 and 1998, with 2016 now in the mix.

    I am very upset by the Duke losses in 1986 and 1999. We all have painful memories of what might have been.

    I think I know who sculpted Mt. Hatemore!

    The top three NCAA tournament losses that come quickest to my mind are last night; Kansas in '91 (blowhard Dean thrown out of the game); and Weber State ("The Show" was absolutely phenomenal).

    And, my favorite one-man performance (we would not have won the regular season in '86 if not for this demolition in Carmichael) -- a key play by Len Bias: http://youtu.be/5KdFhvX8Xaw

    And a short highlight reel of Bias for those who did not see him play -- includes a number of key plays in that game: http://youtu.be/gDQnsK6bpPM

    Don't know whether this is a labor of love or of hate, but I love this list and was sorry that I had forgotten about it.

    For me, I have to put (in no order) 1977 Marquette, 2016 Villanova, 1999 Weber State, 1998 Utah, and 1991 Kansas (tempered by the fact that Ol' Roy was on the other side of that one) in my top 5.

    The videos that have sprung up in the past few days have been priceless, rivaling the Austin Rivers shot. So, I'll make that #1.

    But Monday morning, I pointed out to several ugly blues that the last time the cheats faced a "little Catholic school" for the marbles, they lost with a much better team. #2.

    The Show was great on many levels. #3.
