From Dean Smith to Roy Williams, UNC basketball's history with Kansas is 'rare and unique'

Posted Nov 7, 2024
Roughly 1,080 miles separate the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. and Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. Despite the distance between the home arenas of North Carolina basketball and Kansas basketball, the connection between the Tar Heels and Jayhawks is one that was forged when Dean Smith showed up at KU in 1949 to play for Phog Allen.
