From Hoopedia

In 1924 the University of North Carolina finished their season with a 26-0 record and the Helms Foundation named them national champions. Since then the 'Heels have won four NCAA championship titles. They have done so with a host of superstars, including Lennie Rosenbluth, Dean Smith, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, Michael Jordan, Jerry Stackhouse, Roy Williams, Sean May, and Tyler Hansbrough. Their first NCAA championship, in 1957, was perhaps the hardest-fought title game in NCAA history, as the Tar Heels went three overtimes with Wilt Chamberlain and his Kansas Jayhawks before prevailing, 54-53. Most recently, they took the title in 2005. It appears that they have no intention of stopping any time soon.
