2.25.1995 Carolina vs. Kentucky - Elite 8 (Sean McDonough)

Tar Heels beat Kentucky to advance to the 1995 Final Four. Little known fact, Kentucky head coach Rick Pitino spent $25,000 the night before on a celebratory catering bill in full anticipation of beating the Tar Heels. Assistant Coach Dave Hanners learned of the catering bill and shared with lead assistant Bill Guthridge, who subsequently shared with head coach Dean Smith. Coach Smith made no team-wide announcement, but he shared with future NBA All-Stars Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace. They made sure of Carolina Victory. No one knows if Pitino was able to cancel that order, but the Heels beat the Tar out of Kentucky to spoil that pre-supposed celebration.
