When Hubert Davis was named head men's basketball coach at the University of North Carolina in April 2021, history had already been made, as Davis became the program's first Black head coach. But after two difficult seasons, it was hard to imagine how quickly a new staff, a new playing style, and a new roster blending established players with prominent transfers and talented freshmen would be able to change the story-except within the fabled Smith Center locker room and practice gyms, where photos of the New Orleans Superdome helped players and staff focus on the possible. In words and photos full of behind-the-scenes moments, this book reveals how belief in the program's rich traditions and in one another enabled the 2021-2022 Tar Heels to achieve what at times seemed impossible, writing a thrilling new chapter in the story of Carolina basketball. From Davis's remarkable work to build a new staff and roster to the ups and downs of the conference season to the amazing run through March to the pinnacle of the college game, the story takes fans through one of the most dramatic years in program history.

Adam Lucas is a featured columnist at GoHeels.com, the official website of Carolina Athletics, and author of many books, including Carolina Basketball: A Century of Excellence. Steve Kirschner is senior associate athletic director for sports information and media relations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Matt Bowers is associate director of athletic communications at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Hubert Davis is the twentieth head coach of the University of North Carolina men's basketball program.

"A moving account of the Tar Heels' run to the final game of the NCAA Tournament . . . in former Carolina player Hubert Davis' first year as head coach. . . . Carolina fans should enjoy reliving the ups and downs of the tumultuous season."--Community Sports News "The authors are the ultimate UNC-CH insiders. . . . Their access to the behind-the-scenes story of the 2021-22 season is born out in revelation after revelation throughout the book. . . .What Together does best is introduce readers to the stories of thoughtful and interesting young men they might only know through their television screens. . . . The retelling of these rather mundane moments make a magical season feel even more so."--Wiley Cash, The Assembly NC
