UNC plans to push the pace in upcoming basketball season: 'A lot of up and down'

Posted Oct 6, 2024
UNC held its men's basketball media day Friday and the theme quickly became clear: The Tar Heels are going to push the pace. If you're not in the best shape of your life, you're not going to play," coach Hubert Davis said. "If you don't sprint to the offensive end, you're not going to play. If you don't sprint back defensively, you're not going to play." (WTVD)
