The University of North Carolina officially dedicated the playing floor at the home of the men’s basketball team as the “Roy Williams Court at the Dean E. Smith Center.”
The dedication came at a men’s basketball reunion attended by more than 300 former and current Tar Heel players and coaches Friday night at the Smith Center.
