As soon as he walked down the varsity hallway and turned the corner into the Smith Center tunnel, Hubert Davis could feel it.
Saturday was NC State against Carolina. One national college basketball writer made a list of ten games to watch on Saturday and Tar Heels-Wolfpack wasn't on it, even as an "under the radar" game.
But this is why it makes so much sense for Hubert Davis to be the head coach at the University of North Carolina—he doesn't need lists. All he needed to do was look through the tunnel and see the 21,750 packed seats, the biggest crowd to watch a college basketball game anywhere in the United States on this day.
