BIAH Flashback: Weber State vs. UNC 1999

Since Mr. BIAH is on the left coast for the week, yours truly (The Trizzle) is going to be recalling some memorable moments from seasons past as we make our way towards the start of the '09-'10 season.

Do you remember Harold Arceneaux? He was the man that led 15th seed Weber State over perennial tournament favorite and #2 seed UNC in 1999 in one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. North Carolina was making its 25th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and had won every first round game since 1980.

North Carolina had no answer for Arceneaux, who scored from everywhere on the floor and finished with 36 points (20 in the second half). Weber State's win over mighty UNC remains one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history, and Arceneaux's spectacular performance made him a national star.

Hey dude - get it right. UNC was a 3 seed and Weber State was a 14 seed......which makes this loss for the Heels a bad one, but not as bad as Dook losing to Lehigh!!
