This Day in UNC Basketball History: Dean Smith Wins No. 877
Posted Mar 15, 2017
Dean Smith started the 1996-97 season with 851 wins, 25 behind Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp, who held the all-time mark. It was obvious that if the record came that season, it would come in March, when the stakes were the highest. This was one of Smith’s youngest and thinnest teams. Carolina relied on a six-man core.
