A LOOK BACK: Pack Scores Big W against Big O

January 18, 2008 on 8:40 pm | In Athletics |


Today's game between NC State and Cincinnati marks only the seventh time the two programs have squared off. That's not much of a history, as these things go. But almost 50 years ago Cincinnati visited Reynolds Coliseum in a high-profile game that produced one of the biggest non-conference wins in Everett Case's tenure in Raleigh. The date was December 30, 1958, and Cincinnati was in town for the Dixie Classic, Case's premier holiday tournament played at Reynolds Coliseum. The eight-team, three-day tournament was held annually for 12 years between Christmas and New Year's. North Carolina's Big Four NC State, North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest comprised half the field, with non-ACC teams making up the other half. The 1958 field was loaded, with Cincinnati ranked No. 2 in the AP poll, followed by North Carolina at No. 3, State at No. 4, and Michigan State at No. 9.
