1997 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament 1

After a few more days of training the first game day the NCAA tournament arrived, the game would be at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum which was where Wake Forest team normally played, if Team Tar Heels won they would play the next game there too.

After a few hours, both teams were ready for the game, Team Tar Heels was the first seed in this NCAA tournament and would face Team Fairfield Stags who were not having a good season so far.

So it was only natural that everyone expected the Tar Heels team to win this game very easily, everyone expected it and even Coach Smith was not worried about this game, Jake who knew that the team would win with some ease was not worried either.

But he remembered something that could end up changing the outcome of this game if he wasn't careful, Greg Francis who was one of the highlights of this team would be playing very well that day and would hit 8 shots from three points.
