UNC '180 degrees' away from the national title

Posted Feb 4, 2007

With thousands of red-clad students streaming to the court in the RBC Center, a team of arena security held hands and roped off an area around the 15 players and coaches. All the Tar Heels could do after the 83-79 upset loss was shake hands with the N.C. State coaching staff and one player, Engin Atsur, as N.C. State celebrated its first win in the rivalry series in four years. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
