Considering how often UNC basketball coach Hubert Davis has mentioned the importance of “energy, effort, and toughness” to the media, it’s likely UNC’s players have heard those words more often than the fight song. It has everything to do with Davis wanting his team to show the kind of fight it had during Saturday’s 74-58 victory over Virginia. (Tar Heel Tribune)
