Not long after the final buzzer sounded on Sunday, when UNC cruised past Washington into the Sweet 16, Garrison Brooks received a phone call. It was from Auburn’s Jamal Johnson, a close friend of Brooks who is sitting out this season for the Tigers after transferring from Memphis. “He asked me if I was ready to take this L home,” Brooks said.
