Posted Jun 27, 2022
UNC boasts one of the country's premier basketball programs. But that wasn’t always the case. A documentary titled "McGuire’s Miracle" released in March tells the story of UNC’s 1956-57 basketball team, the first in program history to win an NCAA championship. The Tar Heels were known as a football school before their rise on the hardwood began. (Hickory Record)
