Got a minute? J.B. Tanner

Posted Jun 8, 2009
What was it like first stepping onto the court at the Dean Smith Center? It was really, really big. When you come out of that tunnel, it just seems like it never stops. The first time I ran out of the tunnel with it full was Late Night With Roy my junior year. I got shoved up to the front for some unknown reason, so I led the team out on the floor. When you lead the team out of the tunnel with 22,000 screaming fans is pretty cool. That was my role for the past two years of varsity. (Blue Ridge Now)
