Carolina Way Friday: Five Plays That Represent the UNC Basketball Philosophy

Posted Apr 14, 2023
Each Friday, we’ll select a handful of plays that feature components of Coach Dean Smith’s "Play hard. Play smart. Play together." philosophy. Play 1: WFU at UNC (1978-79): Dudley Bradley’s UNC record of 97 steals in a season, set as in 1978-79, will probably never be broken. His per-game mark of 3.34 that season almost assuredly will not be. (UNC Classics Club)
