And then there were two. After narrowly slipping by a talented 1991-92 Duke team, John Wooden’s 1966-67 UCLA squad takes on its toughest opponent yet: The 1981-82 North Carolina Tar Heels led by one Michael Jordan.
The Bruins have a hall-of-famer of their own in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Will the dominant big man be enough to overcome Jordan and “Big Game” James Worthy?
We also have a clash of legendary coaches with Wooden matching wits with Dean Smith.
It’s a star-studded matchup. Who will win? That’s for you to decide. Check back Monday for the results.
