Hubert Davis allowed UNC players to vote on whether to play in the NIT, and the school opted out of the tournament after the majority of players voted against it, the fathers of three Tar Heels said Tuesday. The voting results took effect when the Tar Heels failed to make the NCAA Tournament, said the fathers of Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, and D'Marco Dunn. (USA Today)
