I do love a good schedule/calendar quirk: Since 1946-47, when #EverettCase took over as head coach and the date of every @PackMensBball has been cataloged, @NCState and @UNC_Basketball have played exactly once on this date: a 77-59 Wolfpack win in Chapel Hill on 1/23/2002. #OTD
It was a losing season of discontent for the Tar Heels, who fell to 5-11 overall and 1-5 in the ACC. Even more disappointing than the loss for UNC was that the Smith Center was filled with red-wearing Wolfpack fans.
“I’ve never seen that much red in this building,” said 5th-year senior @Archie_Miller, who had a game-high 20 points. “They were full-fledged. They were everywhere. They were hiding in the rafters. They were coming out of the tunnels. They were really into the game.”
Later that season, @HerbSendek's team advanced to the @accmbb tournament title game in Charlotte and broke the program’s 10-season NCAA tournament drought, beating Michigan State in the first round.
