Carolina Way Friday: Five Plays That Represent the UNC Basketball Philosophy

Posted Apr 14, 2023

Play 1: WFU at UNC (1978-79): Dudley Bradley’s UNC record of 97 steals in a season, set as in 1978-79, will probably never be broken. His per-game mark of 3.34 that season almost assuredly will not be. (UNC Classics Club)
