List of North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball seasons

The Tar Heels have played their games at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina since 1986.

The Tar Heels played their first basketball game against Virginia Christian, on January 27, 1910, a 42–21 win for North Carolina.

The Tar Heels won their first NCAA Championship under coach Frank McGuire in 1957, which was led by Lennie Rosenbluth and several other transplants from the New York City area.

McGuire was forced to resign in 1961 after an NCAA violation regarding "improper recruiting entertainment"[11] and was replaced by one of his assistants, Dean Smith.

[14] The 1982 National Championship team was led by James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and a young Michael Jordan.

While at North Carolina, Smith helped promote desegregation by recruiting the university's first African American scholarship basketball player Charlie Scott.

In his first season, the Heels shot to the #1 ranking in the polls in the middle of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule and finished with an impressive 26–7 record.

Matt Doherty led the Tar Heels to the third round of the NIT where they ended their season with a loss to Georgetown.

Roy Williams' first season was a moderate success with North Carolina finished 19-11 and the team was knocked out in the second round of the NCAA tournament by Texas.

Most thought that 2005–06 would be a down season for Williams, but the Tar Heels proved to be surprisingly successful in part due to the help of the freshman Tyler Hansbrough.

The Tar Heels returned to the NCAA tournament in the ensuing years losing to Kentucky and Kansas in the Elite 8 during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons respectively.

The Tar Heels returned to the 2017 National Championship game the following year where they defeated Gonzaga 71–65 to win their sixth NCAA title in program history.
