UNC and Georgetown are the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds in the East bracket and if both teams can reel off three wins, they will face each other in the Elite 8 in two weeks.

The most memorable tournament meeting between these teams was when the 2nd-seeded Tar Heels faced the 5th-seeded Hoyas in the 1982 National Championship. Some think this game -- and this shot -- put Michael Jordan on the map, but if it wasn't this it almost certainly wouldn've been something else:

That was Georgetown's Fred Brown passing the ball to a very surprised James Worthy as time expired. Yeah, it's a crappy way to lose a game. If you're dying to know what happened, here's the Washington Post account dated March 30, 1982, written by some dude named Wilbon.
