Michael Jordan scored less than ten points 10 times during his college basketball career at the University of North Carolina.
All 10 of his single-digit scoring performances occurred during his freshman season (1981-82). In his subsequent sophomore and junior seasons, he reached double digits in every single game he played. His career-low in college was a 2-point performance against NC State on January 30, 1982. As a freshman playing in coach Dean Smith's structured, team-oriented system, Jordan shared the floor with established stars like James Worthy and Sam Perkins. He averaged 13.5 points per game that season but famously capped it off by hitting the game-winning shot in the 1982 National Championship game against Georgetown. Across his 101 total games in college, he finished in double figures 91 times.
