As a Tar Heel alum, I just wanted to point out that at 15:55 Wilt wins the tip-off over Tommy Kearns, who was supposedly shorter than 6 feet .
Wilt could have been pantomiming everything on an empty court by himself and it would've been only slightly less breathtaking.
That was a psychological stunt by N.C. coach Frank McGuire. He didn't have anyone who could challenge Wilt on the tip-off, so he just thought he'd try and mess with his mind. Kearns became a friend of Wilt's and over the years visited Wilt often at his home in L.A. Kearns also said that it was a fluke N.C. won, and if they played the game ten times, Kansas would win nine.
