February 4, 1961: Carolina, Duke, and the best ever basketball brawl

Posted Feb 4, 2021
In 1961 UNC and Duke engaged in what I’m declaring as The Best Ever Basketball Brawl. The game kept teasing fans with the possibility of a scuffle. Frank McGuire yelled at a Duke assistant trainer for talking to UNC players. Doug Moe and Art Heyman got in a little dust up. With a last push, Larry Brown drove to the basket where he met Heyman.
