How heated was the competiton as Kansas and North Carolina struggled in the 1957 NCAA basketball title game in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium? The fact the game ended with a 54-53 score in Carolina's favor after a third overtime clearly reflects the intensity of the conflict. Two incidents in particular drew special attention. Regulation play ended with the scored tied at 46. Each team scored a basket in the first overtime, making it 48-all, then nobody scored in the second OT. Carolina missed four free throws in that scoreless stretch.
