New books feature history of UNC, NC State basketball
Posted Dec 23, 2010
Just in time for Christmas and college basketball season, two books are available that chronicle the rich history of ACC basketball from the specific perspectives of North Carolina and N.C. State. “What It Means To Be a Tar Heel” and “N.C. State Basketball: 100 Years of Innovation” provide historical strolls down Tobacco Road, and each book includes a foreword by the school's current head coach.
