UNC Men’s Basketball Enters Post-Bacot Era at ACC Tip-Off: "It's a Quieter Team"
There’s a major difference in this year’s UNC men’s basketball team from seasons past. Namely, it doesn’t have a 6-foot-10 rebounding machine who attracts as much attention off the court as on it. “It’s a quieter team,”
Hubert Davis said Thursday. "One of the things we’re working on is developing their own voice. But I really like the direction we’re going." (

Chansky’s Notebook: More Good Than Bad
Carolina owes a debt of gratitude to
Mack Brown. The media (including yours truly) has been speculating whether the Hall of Fame football coach will retire (or be fired) after his 16th overall season at UNC. If so, it will match the same span he coached at Texas from 1998 to 2013. Brown has definitely improved the program he inherited from
Larry Fedora. (
