But on this winter day in Leningrad, it was just some college students in jeans playing against what was essentially the Soviet national team reserves - creating one of the most lopsided and amusing "losses" in UNC basketball history. DTH article here:

Later in 1975, The Soviet National Team would visit Chapel Hill, and lose 82-78 to the actual UNC Men's Basketball Team coached by the real Dean Smith.

It's worth noting that international matches were common then - UNC's actual team had played several international squads in Madrid just weeks before, with Walter Davis hitting a 30-foot buzzer-beater to beat Cuba 87-86.

Final score: Lesgaft Institute 92, "North Carolina University" 41. The elite Soviet athletes must have been bewildered as they immediately realized this wasn't the marquee matchup they'd prepared for.
