Instead of going rafting, Banghart told players to go home last summer, prepare to play in April

Coach Courtney Banghart is so confident her UNC women’s basketball team will make a deep NCAA tournament run that she wanted her team to get some time at home this summer to prepare for a long season. She took her Tar Heels on a whitewater rafting trip in the summer of 2021. Instead of doing that last summer, she told her players to go home. (Tar Heel Tribune)
