I missed this.
Friday night was basketball in the Smith Center, and you might say it was an exhibition, but it was close enough. It had been 612 days since the last authentic home Carolina basketball game, and that is too long.
Sure, there were games in the Smith Center last year, but even at the end of the season, there were as many cardboard people there as real people. That's not how Carolina basketball is supposed to be.
Carolina basketball is supposed to be like Friday night.
