UNC/Scarlet Knights
by Robwat23 on 12/30/10Madison Square Garden - New YorkI enjoyed the game immensely. The seats were great. The ONLY negative was we were sitting behind the Rutgers band so sometimes it was hard to see game action.

About
UNC Tar Heels Men's Basketball History
The University of North Carolina played its first men's basketball game in 1910 and achieved success early on, joining the Southern Conference upon its founding in 1921. In 1924, Norman Shepard coached UNC to an undefeated record in his only season at Chapel Hill. In 1953, UNC was among seven programs to splinter from the SoCon to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. UNC won their first national championship under Frank McGuire in 1957, capping off an undefeated season with a triple-overtime upset over Wilt Chamberlain and Kansas. Dean Smith replaced McGuire in 1961, transforming North Carolina from an already successful program into a national power before retiring in 1997.
Smith's "four corners" offense emphasized ball control and, as college basketball did not have a shot clock until the '80s, managed to shut down teams completely in close contests. James Worthy led the Tar Heels to the 1982 national championship, with the legendary Michael Jordan hitting the game-winning shot against Georgetown to clinch it.
UNC has many local and national rivals, but the most contentious and bitter by far is with Duke. The two schools first played each other in 1920, when Duke was still known as Trinity College, and their close proximity to each other (just 10 miles on Tobacco Road separates the universities) has fostered the rivalry more. The two schools have combined for 12 national championships, with North Carolina having the slight edge in both titles and the head-to-head record.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating: 4 out of 5by Jerzeyboy on 12/30/10Madison Square Garden - New York More food concessions should have been open. The lines were way too long, especially at halftime, so we bought nothing.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Good game.. MSG is antiquated
by Anonymous on 12/30/10Madison Square Garden - New YorkThough North Carolina dominated, it was a good game to go to. Other than that - The food selection is a joke. MSG needs to step it up more than a few notches. Also, $10 for a beer served in a plastic mug.. This spells RIPOFF. What was good were the seating.. center court in 300 section are good seats.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Game was good, Parking not so much
by shicksunc1 on 12/22/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroThe basketball game came down to the last seconds. Great game, but it took forever to get into the parking lot. There were cars lined up for blocks and we started out almost an hour early.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Parking stinks!
by hedgewalk on 12/22/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroTarheels played a strong game. Even though our seats were as high as you could go we had a good view of the game. The parking was atrocious. Missed 15 minutes of the game waiting to park in the overflow lot, and then to add insult to injury, still had to pay $10! That was superfrustrating....So if you plan to attend an event at the coliseum arrive at least an hour early!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Wow...
by coolmommy84 on 12/21/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroI've never been to a college basketball game before so this was a great experience for me. The game was awesome, even though the Tar Heels lost. The only problem I had was with the coliseum. They seemed very unprepared. We had to park a mile away from the coliseum and walk. Wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't have my 4 year old with me.
Rating: 3 out of 5 UNC VS TEXAS AT GREENSBORO
by Anonymous on 12/21/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroThe game was great even though the Tarheels lost it went down to the wire. The negative aspect was the Greensboro Coliseum and Greensboro Police department. They were terrible at crowd control. It took over an hour to park and my wife had to let the kids and me off on the street to get into the game on time. After paying 30 bucks for her ticket, plus a 12 dollar convienance charge and 10 dollars to park sShe missed the first 15 minutes of the game. Inside the coliseum was just as bad as service lines were so long you could not move. It took just as long to leave the coliseum parking lot as it took to get in. Enjoyed the game but becasue of the way Greensboro handles crowds I will not be back
Rating: 3 out of 5by scottjustin on 12/21/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - Greensboro Game was great, however parking was atrocious. Not sufficient public parking provided by the coliseum. Traffic was terrible given the difficulty in locating parking. Many people, including us, were late to the game because of this.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great Game
by jrc6574 on 12/21/10Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroThe basketball game UNC vs. Texas was a very entertaining & challenging contest for both teams. Although the Heels ran out of time at the end of the game and eventually lost, it was still fun. Anytime I have the opportunity to see the Heels in action in my own town it makes me happy. It was also a great way to celebrate the holidays with my family.
