A joy to remember as I was a student at that game. Hank Nichols stood at mid court with an ear to ear grin. We were screaming, booing until Chick Yonaker floated the air ball. Sail with the Pilot advertisement still makes me laugh.
The ACC put in the shot clock in 1982-83 and used the experimental 3-point line that was 19'. By the start of the 1983-84 season, the funny looking 3 point line was gone but the shot clock stayed
I was a die-hard Carolina fan too, and my dad was furious too! He'd loved the Heels growing up during the Frank McGuire 1950s and never warmed to Dean. I constantly had to war with family and relatives who pulled for Wake and State. My pop was going to explode over Dean's strategy here! Well, we won the title a week later!
Could you imagine if there was social media in the late 70's when Carolina was just holding on to the ball seemingly forever. This game along with the 1982 ACC Tournament Final caused the ACC to experiment with a shot clock
I never heard of a campus president signing a contract for a new student union building, before a rival game. One could see a new arena, but a student union? That student union must've been of utmost importance.
I'm a DIE-HARD Heel fan and I remember this game from childhood and how my Father was fuming at Coach Smith for as he said " Pulling that mess from years ago ".... He was referring to the 21-20 game from the ACC Tournament years prior lol 😆.... God rest Coach Smith he definitely stuck to what he believed.
To add to my comment from above, as a passionate Carolina fan back then as a kid, I HATED the "GTH Carolina, GTH" chant. But I have to smile now. Great time to be a kid in the ACC.
Since the regional TV network kept getting TV timeouts given to them, it is obvious the stall went against the interests of broadcasters. That's probably why the shot clock was added.
Dean Smith is so 🗑. Holding the ball for 11 minutes WHEN THEY'RE LOSING. What a genius. That "genius" did the 4 corners vs Marquette when they came back vs Marquette. Cost them the 1977 national championship

Thank God for the shot clock!
Thanks for posting this! After this display, I am not sure why it took 6 years to get a shot clock in college basketball.

This is actually a great video for perspective on what the game has been and what it is today. Great find and glad it was posted for us to see.

With that halftime score, you would believe that this was played at Wallace Wade Stadium, not Cameron Indoor! 😂😂😂😂😂
The game that started the chant, AIR BALL, AIR BALL, AIR BALL.
The announcers are Jim and Bones. So does Bones say, "Damn it, Jim!"

It's amazing exactly how Coach Smith changed with the times once the NCAA effectively banned the 4 Corners Offense.
Do you mean the 12-10 State win over Duke?

@@wildforthecats661 A year before that game. ‘66 ACC Tourney game between Duke and UNC.
It's like those videos you can't help but watch because you know something is gonna happen eventually.

Why did the Heels hate the game of basketball so much?
The question is WHY? Carolina was always good and didn't need to do this. Was glad when the shot clock was put in (for good) during the 1985-86 season
He was trying to draw Duke out of the zone defense they were in
Love everything. Just watch n listen to the fans beating on the bleachers in sync. Why can’t they do this now
Where was Billy Packer for this game?
Randy Dubin - Probably doing the NBC game with Enberg and Al Maguire that day. It was a Saturday.
Sun 3/4/79, Notre Dame vs Michigan (at Pontiac), NBC, 1 pm, Dick Enberg, Billy Packer, Al McGuire
The 4-corners "attack"...
This looks like hockey
Most anomalous game ever! Go Heels!
Talk about not having any faith in your team.
This is a prime example of why I hated Smith!
Both teams lost very early in the NCAA tournament in big upsets
smg1665 Black Sunday as it is known in the south.
I know UNC lost to penn but who did Duke lose to?
@@matthewdempsey8852
Duke lost to St. John’s 80 to 78 in the round of 32

If he did this so as to secretly impose a shot clock,great. Otherwise he sucked.
I'm feeling a bit of nostalgia. Anyone having a tear in there eye.
Nope. Eyes are totally dry up in this mug.
This is horrible by Dean Smith... absolutely horrible. Shameful without a doubt.
Thank goodness we have the shot clock now.
Stop crying
