Name: Bob Lewis

Position: Forward

Jersey #: 22

Years: 1964-67

Honors: 2-time All-America in 1966 and 1967; 2-time All-ACC in 1966 and 1967; 1967 NCAA East Region MVP.

Notable Stats: 11th all-time at UNC with 1,836 career points; 2nd highest single-season scoring average with 27.4 in 1966; 4th highest single-season total with 740 points in 1966; 4th highest UNC career scoring average with 22.1; 5th longest UNC streak scoring in double figures at 40 games.

In Closing: One of the great scorers in UNC history, Lewis came along when the program was beginning to rebound after a decline following the 1957 national championship. Lewis rarely met a shot he didn’t like, and that was usually okay because he more often than not converted. He scored a UNC single-game record 49 points versus FSU in 1965 and had 43 in a win over Richmond 8 days earlier. Those two games were in a stretch in which he scored 30 or more in a Carolina-record five consecutive games. Lewis reached the 20-point mark in one stretch for 12 straight games, the fourth longest streak ever at UNC. he helped lead the Tar Heels to the 1967 ACC championship and 1967 Final Four, both firsts for Dean Smith as a coach. There's no question that Lewis' place in Carolina lore is worthy of high praise and this lofty position.
