March 12th, 1983: On the Wolfpack’s miracle run in 1983 they upset Michael Jordan and the Tar Heels in the ACC Tournament semifinal 91-84 in overtime. After Jordan fouled out in regulation, Sam Perkins shot at the buzzer rimmed out and the Pack controlled the overtime session. The Wolfpack would go on to win the national championship while the Tar Heels would get upset by Georgia in the Elite 8 falling one game short of a rematch with N.C.State.
