North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball Tickets

Tar Heels Tradition

We’ll make it a shortlist, as it could go on for pages: Rasheed Wallace, Rick Fox, Billy Cunningham, Vince Carter, and, of course, Michael Jordan. These are just some of the NBA legends whose college origins track back to North Carolina Tar Heel glory. Any child or teenager who plays and loves basketball simultaneously dreams of playing in the baby blue and white jerseys of North Carolina. North Carolina’s first game dates back to January 27, 1910, in a game against Virginia Christian, a game they won and a pattern of winning that would lead them to a current overall record of 1,950 wins and 699 losses. This is one of the most impressive school records in all of the NCAA. Combine this statistic with their four NCAA championships, four-time NCAA championship runners-up, forty NCAA tournament appearances, and twenty-five conference title championships, and you’ve got one of the most dominant sports teams in basketball, nay, sports history. But the North Carolina Tar Heels have not slowed down one bit over the course of their nearly 100-year history. Just last season (2007-2008), the Tar Heels made their 40th tournament appearance and their 17th final four run. With the potent combination of Tyler Hansbrough, all-star, player of the year forward and assured first-round draft pick of the 2009 NBA draft, and the brilliant coaching of Roy Williams, it would not be surprising in the least to see the Tar Heels not only appear in its 41st NCAA tournament, but to take home the crown and claim its 5th title in school history.
