When the North Carolina Tar Heels hit the court in the Dean Dome on Tuesday night vs. NC State, they will be doing so in style.
UNC will wear a special throwback for Tuesday’s showdown with the Wolfpack to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1969 team. That team went 27-5 overall and 12-2 in ACC play, finishing as conference champions for the third-straight season.
Although UNC fell short in the NCAA Tournament, finishing fourth, that ’69 team accomplished a lot. Their Final Four appearance was the third-straight in program history, the last time a UNC did has achieved that feat.
