Lucas: Crowd Participation

Posted Feb 27, 2021
Something entirely unanticipated happened on Saturday afternoon at the Smith Center: in a season when the combined home total attendance so far was zero, fans helped the Tar Heels win a basketball game. They didn't do it all in North Carolina's 78-70 win over No. 11 Florida State, of course. Walker Kessler was sensational both offensively and defensively. (GoHeels.com)
