A Duke fan's view of the best UNC teams that didn't win it all...

Well, in my lifetime at least, this is how I would rank them:

5. 1981--led by Worthy, this team made the NCAA final only to fall to Isaiah's Hoosiers.
4. 1991--a very deep team who won the ACC Tourney title and earned a #1 seed; lost to Kansas in the Final Four. Led by King Rice, Rick Fox, George Lynch, Hubert Davis, and a big, ugly freshman named Eric Montross.
3. 1984--Jordan, Smith, Daugherty and Perkins couldn't get this team to their 2nd title in 3 years.
2. 1998--Jamison's solid play, Carter's high-flying act and Cota's playmaking skills ran into a mentally tough, very well-coached Utah team in the Final Four.
1. 1995--Very close between this and the '98 team, but UCLA and Arkansas in '95 were much better than any team UNC could've faced in '98. Stackhouse and Wallace were only sophomores but were further along in years than Carter and Jamison. Had they stayed in school this team would have had to beat itself to not win the '96 title.
 
UNC's worst debacle all time was against Marquette, 77! Phil Ford and several other UNC players were pretty beat up in that championship game. THey shoulda won inspite of the injuries though. Them's da breaks tho!
 
I wasn't around in '77. I knew Ford played on some good teams, though.

Thats OK, I think Perkins went on to play more seasons than all Duke Players combined... :D - Jordan well he went on to win 5 or 6 NBA titles with players most teams would have had on their bench... I'd say The Hill produced some fine NBA players in its day - obviously more than Dookie...

What the hell does that have to do with anything?
