Above, UNC Asheville’s Kimmel Arena was filled to its 3,400-seat capacity for its first men’s home basketball game — against the top-rated UNC Chapel Hill — on Nov. 13. The game was sold out weeks in advance and UNC won 91-75. At left, Bulldog senior Chris Stephenson shoots over Tar Heel 7-footer Tyler Zeller. Grammy winning pianist Bruce Hornsby performed the national anthem for the arena’s debut. His son, UNCA freshman Keith Hornsby plays for the Bulldogs. UNCA students received free tickets for the game — and 800 of them attended. Senior J.P. Primm led UNCA with 23 points.
