Freshmen get their first taste of the ACC
Posted Jan 7, 2007
UNC's five freshmen last season felt the same way when they took the court for their first ACC game a year ago today. As is the case with Florida State today, a 12-win team that already had played one conference game visited the Smith Center for UNC's league opener. N.C. State provided a rude welcome to the ACC to Tyler Hansbrough and Co., scoring the game's first 11 points as Williams refused to call timeout to help his inexperienced team regroup.
