Long week for UNC ends with win over N.C State
Posted Feb 14, 2010
UNC's basketball program, going back in time before our very eyes, began to inch forward again Saturday. On the weekend of the 100-year celebration of the program, the Tar Heels found energy bouncing off the sagging rafters of its celebrated home and took down N.C. State 74-61. On a day when Dean Smith himself walked onto the floor of the arena named in his honor, UNC ended a four-game losing streak and the talk of a looming disaster.
