Triangle Timehop: Today in local college basketball history (April 4)

Posted Apr 4, 2020
April 4, 2005: UNC wins its first men's basketball title since 1993 and Roy Williams gets his first-ever title, beating Illinois 75-70. It was "Talent vs. Team" going into the game, the inference of course being that UNC had all the NBA talent and Illinois was a team. In spite of that narrative, each team had the same number of players who'd go on to play in the NBA. (WRAL Sports Fan)
