Arizona basketball game rewind: Re-watching the 1988 Regional Final Against North Carolina

In our first installment of Arizona basketball game rewind, we covered Arizona's 1994 Final Four loss to Arkansas. Now that we got a tough loss out of the way, we will take a look at one of the biggest wins in Arizona's history: the 1988 Regional Final win against North Carolina.

Going into the game, Arizona was one of the best teams in the country, having only lost two games all year. Still, Arizona hadn't made a Final Four (the closest they came was a 1976 Elite Eight under Fred Snowden) and the Pac-10 hadn't sent a team to the Final Four since UCLA in 1980.
