Welcome to the Thunderdome, UNC

Posted Nov 21, 2008
Tonight the UCSB men’s basketball team will face #1 University of North Carolina. The sold-out matchup is the first home game against a national #1 for the Gauchos since 1991 against UNLV. “We obviously know we have to play a good game,” junior guard James Powell said. “We have to shoot pretty well and we have to take care of the ball, because they’re definitely not going to be giving us extra chances.” (Daily Nexus)
