The NCAA tournament is about basketball but also so much more: the parents, fans, bands, cheerleaders, etc. The Sweet 16/Elite 8 are taking place in 4 cities around the country and we could not be more excited to be there in person! HoopsHD is covering all the angles so you can look forward to an abundance of access in the days ahead. Jon Teitel continues our coverage from Los Angeles with the North Carolina open practice.
There were plenty of people to see at the UNC open practice on Wednesday afternoon:
SR F Armando Bacot (you know he shows up in big games based on his 15 PTS/15 REB effort in the 2022 title game loss to Kansas):
SR G RJ Davis (the 2024 conference POY has scored 20+ PTS in each of his past 4 postseason games):
Head coach Hubert Davis (the 2024 conference COY scored 25 PTS for UNC in a 1991 Final 4 loss to Kansas):
SR G Cormac Ryan (the last time he faced Alabama in the NCAA tourney he set a Notre Dame postseason record with 7 3PM in a 2022 win):
SO F Harrison Ingram (if the Stanford transfer can make it to the Elite 8 he might face his old Pac-12 rival from Tucson):
Assistant coach Sean May (next month marks the 19-year anniversary of him being named 2005 tourney MOP as a player for the Tar Heels):
Check back for a lot more access all weekend long!
