Sterling Manley Gets His Home Game
Posted Mar 22, 2019
It may not have been by design, but Sterling Manley is getting his home game after all. North Carolina has a tradition in which the Tar Heels usually play homes games near where each player is from at least once during their careers. It was a tradition started by Dean Smith and often upheld by Roy Williams, though it's becoming more difficult to keep the practice alive.
