Finally, A Buzz In The Building

Posted Feb 28, 2021
For the first time in 361 days, North Carolina fans finally returned to the Smith Center on Saturday afternoon to watch the Tar Heels upset eleventh-ranked Florida State, 78-70. It may have only been 15-percent full, but the 3,263 fans in the Smith Center, the first time spectators have been allowed in since Mar. 3, 2020, played a huge role in the win.
