Am I misreading you or are you being sarcastic about UNC's opponents during the
1923-24 season. The opponents were about like they are today. Some cream puffs
and some nationally known teams. Carolina more than doubled the score(41-20) on
Kentucky in the Southern Conference Tournament and the most lop sided victory
was over N.C. State 44-9.
As everyone knows, there was not an NCAA playoff system adopted until the season
of'39-'40 and it seems to me that a mythical championship for basketball is as
valid as a claim for the national championship in football until they came up
with this so called playoff system they have now. It really doesn't mean lot to
me but I am amazed at how it upsets ABCers. As long as that is the case you can
rest assured UNC will continue to trumpet the 1924 team as a "national
champions". If UNC wasn't the national champ that year, then who was? I
know, I know, the answer is there wasn't one. I'm not worried about anybody else
trying to lay claim to the NC for that year for obvious reasons.
