Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag Jan. 30

Posted Jan 30, 2007

The Carolina Basketball family suffered a loss this weekend when Tom Zaliagiris passed away unexpectedly. Zaliagiris was a gritty member of Carolina basketball from 1975-78. He shared one of the most memorable Senior Days in Tar Heel history with Phil Ford at Carmichael Auditorium in 1978. The tears that flowed that day showed how much both players valued their time in Chapel Hill. (Tar Heel Blue)
