On This Date No. 2 UNC 97, No. 1 Duke 73 (2/5/1998)

Ed Cota- overlooked in the “all-time greatest UNC PGs” conversation.

Ed Cota, Antawn Jamison, and Vince Carter was pure cheat code.

Quite possibly the best team to not win it all.

That off the backboard oop to Vince Carter was so insane why didn’t it go down 😭😭

I will never understand how this team did not win the national championship.

We had the better players ..back then. Great group of Tarheels there!

This was a team. The swagger, oh my

This season might have been the most disappointed I’ve ever been when it ended. They were the best team that year and should’ve won it all. The Utah game still haunts me.

I remember watching this game in middle school. This Carolina team was so talented in still upset they lost to Utah in Final Four

Cota owning Wojo was amazing. Laughable when Wojo was named defensive player of the year after watching what Ed did to him.

Watching this - those men were in a different level than what we have now. That group was straight ballers

@jackiesdad33 Blew them out twice in the same game.

Best team to not win it all!!

Probably the easiest game to watch for us Heels fans. Never a doubt

UNC kicked some serious ass that night. I still remember that missed dunk by Vince Carter. If he make that thing, I think that the Dean Dome might have exploded!

Two things. 1-I can't believe they never won the national title. They were so talented. Jamison, Carter, Cota, Williams... Sheesh what a juggernaut. 2- I can't believe Cota never made it to the NBA. He was jcould see the court like a few.

& y’all act like they wasn’t hooping in the 90s

Those Carolina teams in the 90’s was truly great to watch just as a 🏀 fan

Cota, Carter, Jamison..WHAT A SQUAD

@TarHeelTimes Best tarheel team I ever saw, maybe the best missed dunk I ever saw, and easily the worst grammar I have ever used!

Squad was legendary….cota had wojo in hell😂😭

I was on that floor. It was bouncing. I’ve never heard a crowd go so silent then loud when Vince missed that dunk. Crazy good pass too

Ed Cota was cold 🥶

Easy Ed Cota one of my favorite PGs Ever watch.This team might be one of favorites all time even though they didn't win it all.

'Twan had like 38 points and possessed the ball a total of about 53 seconds lol. GOAT level shit

I was there.

@BalboaUNC Greatest “missed dunk” in history if there was such a thing. What coulda been!! #GDTBATH

Man I loved this team during that 98 season

School sucked hard the next day.

Try to dunk it everytime down the court. Ed Cota top 3 PG ever in school history imo.

What a fun team to watch!!!

Man what a team

Why do I feel like we had to call the cable company and order ESPN 2 for this?

The double blowout
