Lucas: 1987 Dean Smith radio interview

Posted Apr 17, 2013
Every once in a while, the internet feels like a pretty cool invention. That's the case today, as there is some incredible content in this 1987 Dean Smith interview with UNC student radio station WXYZ. First, some context: The interview says it's from January 25, 1987. The game from "last night" that they refer to frequently in the beginning of the interview is a 92-55 whipping of Georgia Tech at the Smith Center. (Tar Heel Monthly)
