[Young Drachma]

2043-44: Navy and North Carolina both make the Final Four undefeated, but get pitted against each other in a cruel twist of bad bracketing by the committee.

Maryland, also a top-seed and 6-seed Tennessee are the other two teams to make it to the Final Four.

Navy wins the National Title, running the table and UNC gets denied again despite back-to-back Final Four appearances. They're cursed.

Navy 77, North Carolina 66
