Heels blast Wake on historic day at UNC

Posted Feb 11, 2007

North Carolina's basketball players transformed from local celebrities to gawkers Saturday afternoon. The Tar Heels had a game to play, but they couldn't help but notice the galaxy of stars that strolled into Section 117 of the Smith Center to watch them take on Wake Forest. "We came into the locker room, and everybody was talking about how 'Jordan slapped me on the butt when I was coming into the locker room.'" (Durham Herald-Sun)
