The Tar Heels celebrate on the court after the win on Monday night.

All the cool and interesting notes, marks, records, numbers, and tidbits from North Carolina's National Championship win.

Carolina Team Notes

• Finishes the season 33-7, including 10-2 in neutral-site games.

• Won its sixth NCAA Tournament championship, third-most in college basketball history (UCLA 11, Kentucky 8).

• Played in the national championship game for the 11th time in school history and the second consecutive year.

• The Tar Heels are 6-5 in national championship games (wins in 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009 and 2017; losses in 1946, 1968, 1977, 1981 and 2016).

• This is the second time in school history the Tar Heels have reached the title game in back-to-back years (lost to Indiana in 1981, beat Georgetown in 1982; lost to Villanova in 2016, beat Gonzaga in 2017).

• Carolina won the national championship despite shooting 36.8 percent from the floor in the national semifinals vs. Oregon and 35.6 percent from the floor in the title game vs. Gonzaga. In the win over Oregon, Carolina shot its lowest field goal percentage in an NCAA Tournament win since shooting 35.9 percent vs. Princeton on March 17, 1967, in the regional semifinals in College Park, Md. The win over Gonzaga marks Carolina’s lowest field goal percentage in an NCAA Tournament win since shooting 31.8 percent vs. Michigan State in the 1957 national semifinal.

• Carolina’s field goal percentage of .356 vs. Gonzaga is UNC’s third-lowest in its 123 all-time NCAA Tournament victories (.253 vs. Ohio State in 1946, .318 vs. Michigan State in 1957).

• Carolina committed only four turnovers in the national championship game, which tied the second-fewest by the Tar Heels in their 168 NCAA Tournament games (2 vs. Fairfield in 1997 first round, 4 vs. Wisconsin in 2015 Sweet 16).

• The four turnovers were a season-low for the Tar Heels (five vs. Northern Iowa and at Duke).

• The four turnovers equal the fewest under Roy Williams in 14 seasons (also had four in losses at Pitt on 2/14/15 and vs. Wisconsin on 3/26/15 in Los Angeles in the Sweet 16).

• The four turnovers are fewest by any team in an NCAA championship game since 1973 (when turnovers were recorded each year). They equal the third-fewest on record since since 1961 (the NCAA does not list turnovers for any championship game prior to 1961 and does not list them for 1965, 1966 or 1972).

Fewest Turnovers (on record) in NCAA Championship Game

3 by Cincinnati in a win over Ohio State, 1961

3 by Loyola (Chicago) in a win over Cincinnati, 1963

4 by North Carolina in a win over Gonzaga, 2017

4 by Purdue in loss to UCLA, 1969

• Carolina held the Zags to 33.9 percent shooting from the floor. This is the first time in Carolina Basketball history it held six opponents in a single NCAA Tournament to below 44 percent shooting from the floor in all six games. Texas Southern shot 36.7 percent, Arkansas shot 43.3 percent, Butler shot 43.5 percent, Kentucky shot 41.5 percent, Oregon shot 37.9 percent and Gonzaga shot 33.9 percent.

• Carolina’s field goal percentage of .356 was its lowest in its 33 wins this year (second straight game UNC did that).

• Gonzaga out-rebounded the Tar Heels, 49-46. This was just the fourth time this year the opponents out-rebounded the Tar Heels and first time Carolina won when having less rebounds (losses to Kentucky in Las Vegas, at Miami and at Duke).

• Carolina came into the Final Four No. 1 in the country in rebounding and rebound margin, tied Oregon with 43 rebounds apiece, got out-rebounded by Gonzaga by three, and won both games.

• Carolina attempted 27 three-pointers, fifth most in NCAA championship game history and the most since Butler (33) in 2011 vs. UConn.

• Carolina shot 14.8 percent from three-point range (4 of 27), third lowest in championship game history and the second-lowest by the winning team. Duke went 1 for 11 (.091) in a loss to UNLV in 1990 and UConn went 1 for 11 (.091) in beating Butler in 2011.

• Ironically, Carolina set the championship game record for highest three-point percentage last year in its loss to Villanova (11 of 17, .647).

• Carolina’s 27 three-point attempts tied the second-most it took this year (30 in a win over Virginia and 27 in the home win over NC State).

• Carolina blocked eight shots, fourth most in an NCAA championship game (11 by Kentucky vs. Kansas in 2012, 10 by Florida vs. UCLA in 2006, 10 by UConn vs. Butler in 2011).

• Carolina is 8-5 vs. No. 1 seeds in NCAA Tournament history. The eight wins equal the second most by any school (Duke 9, UNC 8, Kansas 8).
