Phil Ford: Senior Game Memories

Posted Mar 8, 2013
Senior Night is so special in college basketball. I Think Coach Smith started the tradition way back in the 1970s, when his seniors were not only recognized before the game they also got to start even if they were non-scholarship players. Dexter Strickland will have the stage to himself Saturday night as the only senior on the Carolina roster this season. (Chapelboro.com)
