Today we go back to January 18, 1986 for the first game played inside the newly-constructed Dean Smith Student Activity Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina. Opening a new arena 18 games into the season seems odd but having an undefeated matchup between Duke and UNC made this a game every fan wanted to be in attendance for. This might not be a game everyone talks about in this series but it had a lot going for it, including Dean Smith vs Coach K, Johnny Dawkins and Kenny Smith, and another tight rivalry game. Here's some of what we will get into: Early ESPN College Basketball coverage with Alan Massengale anchoring in studio. College starts Tito Horford and Scott Skiles in the news. Manual scoreboards Johnny Dawkins living up to the hype he still gets to this day from Duke fans. Jay Bilas as a 6th man for the Blue Devils. The legend of Steve Hale and an unexpected journey post basketball. Go back and watch the game for yourself here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnM9R3DhAWA
