Tyus Jones Blog: Discussing the UNC and Duke visits
Posted Oct 24, 2012
After the (Duke) practice we (Tyus Jones, Theo Pinson, Jahlil Okafor) headed over to North Carolina and went to their practice. We had a good time over there just watching how hard they work and talking with the players and coaches after practice. Then we shot around in the Dean Dome, which was really fun. Me, Theo and Jahlil were out there shooting around and we found the spot where Austin Rivers hit that crazy buzzer beater three to win the game last season. So we started to reenact it. All in fun though. Theo was the first one to make it.
