You must be kidding. I don't care how good the nit was in 1973, putting up a banner for that is ri-dam-diculous. You nc fans are unbelievable.

Fairly true. '73 heels (#11 Final AP) were 8-4 in league (roughly equating to 11-5 in a 16 game league), bowing out in OT to Wake Forest (NR) in the first round of the ACC tourney. They lost to Notre Dame(NR) in the 3rd round of the NIT and beat Alabama(NR) soundly in the consolation game.
I'm not sure you can really claim the equivalence of a Final Four here though. The '73 heels were 3rd place in the tournament that, at best, got the second best teams in the nation. Also, in '73, clearly the best team in the ACC was NC State who ran the conference table, won the ACC tourney but didn't get to play in the post season. For a team with the storied history of the heels, that 3rd place NIT banner is a bit questionable.

They would hang a banner if Lawson got a full house in a game of poker at the dorm.
