in 1953, north carolina split from the southern conference and became a founding member of the atlantic coast conference. the tar heels won their first ncaa championship in 1957 under fifth year head coach frank mcguire, who led an undefeated 32-0 squad dominated by lennie rosenbluth and several other transplants from the new york city area to a 54-53 triple overtime victory over wilt chamberlain's kansas jayhawks. c.d. chesley, a washington, d.c. television producer, piped the 1957 championship game in kansas city to a hastily created network of five stations across north carolina—the ancestor to the current syndicated acc football and basketball package from raycom sports—which helped prove pivotal in basketball becoming a craze in the state. the title game was the only triple overtime final game in championship history, which followed a triple overtime north carolina defeat of michigan state 74-70 the previous night.
