Well, it’s the beginning of basketball season — which means it’s Carolina’s time to shine. Whether you are a fan of this sport or not, you can’t help but get excited about UNC basketball. Class of 2014 graduate Chandler Rowland remembers school spirit being huge.
“I remember every year on the day of the Duke game, no one could concentrate in class,” she said. “I’ve never been more excited. And when you finally got into the Dean Dome, and they lowered the lights for the team entrance, my heart would drop.”
UNC basketball brings people together to unite against a common enemy.
“The way it brings our school together around this common subject and watching our peers work their ass off to be the best is what I love about basketball here,” junior economics major Chad Kalil said.
With games happening multiple times a week, our fans are even more present up and down Franklin Street. Whether you’re watching the games in bars, in the Dome or at home, you’re having fun cheering on the Heels.
November is especially magical for UNC fans.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year when football and basketball season overlap,” said junior biology major Kennedy Adams.
This is so true. Basketball is happening all week and we still get to watch NFL football on Sundays. Amazing.
