20 years later, 'Bloody Montross' game still strikes chord
Posted Feb 7, 2012
Not far from where more than 21,000 North Carolina fans were making the Smith Center arguably the loudest it had ever been, Eric Montross sat on the trainers’ table with blood pouring out of two cuts on his head. As the Tar Heels’ medical staff tried to temporarily close the gashes with stitches, the 7-foot- center wanted to know just one thing. “I kept asking what the score was,” Montross said.
