UNC finishes fast start in '06

Posted Jan 1, 2007

Based on what happened Sunday afternoon, North Carolina's men's basketball players might be wearing the biggest grins of all after the 2006-07 season. No. 2 UNC routed Dayton 81-51 in front of 19,967 fans at the Smith Center, finishing with a 7-0 record in the month of December. Six UNC teams in the last 15 years have gone undefeated in December, and five of them -- including the 2005 NCAA championship team -- reached the Final Four. (Durham Herald-Sun)
