1971 - The last ever regular season ACC game versus North Carolina would be a wild one. UNC coach Dean Smith was kicked out of the game after receiving two technicals, one of which came when he intervened after USC's John Ribock kicked UNC's George Karl in the stomach. Ribock would later receive his own technical after throwing an elbow into the head of the Tar Heels' Kim Hubbard. The game saw a record number of personal fouls (57) and free throw attempts (66) for a Carolina Coliseum game. The USC 72-66 win, led by 32 points from John Roche, snapped a six game winning streak by UNC. Tom Owens added 14 points, 11 rebounds and six blocked shots. USC shot 53% in the win.
