‘This team was special.’ How to buy a commemorative poster celebrating UNC basketball
This season, the North Carolina Tar Heels and first-year head coach Hubert Davis delighted UNC fans and surprised the basketball world.
The Tar Heels came together at just the right moment, going from “on the bubble” to being one of the last two teams standing in the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship title game.
And while the Tar Heels fell short of winning the whole shebang, losing the title game to the Kansas Jayhawks, the team holds a special place in fans’ hearts.
Armando Bacot. Caleb Love. Leaky Black. R.J. Davis and Brady Manek are among those names forever tied to this season, which included two victories over rival Duke University.
Manek, celebrating one of his 3-pointers in the April 4 title game, graces the cover of The News & Observer’s commemorative edition.
“This team was special,” Manek said, summing up the season.
The cover can be bought as a poster for $24.95. The pre-order price is $19.95. Go to pediment.com and search for UNC poster, or go directly to the link here.
