50th Anniversary of 8 Points in 17 Seconds, N.C. History Series
Loading Map....
Tuesday, March 26 | 7 – 9 p.m.
Carmichael Arena
Tuition: $40; Carolina Alumni members save $15
Fifty years ago—on March 2, 1974—a finish that inspired Woody Durham to erupt with a one-word radio call, “Unbelievable!” A finish that ranks as one of the greatest comebacks in college basketball history. With eyewitness accounts and anecdotes, we’ll try to capture the magic that was Carmichael Auditorium on that spring-like Saturday afternoon. A game that requires no further description than simply, “eight points in seventeen seconds.”
Guest speakers include: John Bare ’87 (’92 MA, ’95 PhD); Dave Hanners ’76 (’82 MAT), player; John Kuester ’77, player; John Rancke Jr. ’75, team manager; Dickie Baddour ’66 (’75 MA), worked in admissions at the time when Carolina admitted Walter Davis ’77; Freddie Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT) who was keeping stats courtside.
