They reached the conference finals before losing to the Kentucky Colonels. Despite Cunningham, Brown, and a strong product, the regional model never quite worked financially — the Cougars never found a true home arena — and after the 1973–74 season the franchise was sold and relocated to St. Louis as the Spirits. The Cougars left a permanent mark, though: they proved Tobacco Road would support pro basketball, paving the way for the Charlotte Hornets fifteen years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 32px;\" class=\"tagline\"\u003eCarolina Cougars at Royal Retros — Authentic Throwbacks.
