Cheering for Bill Belichick will be nothing new for UNC women’s basketball coach Courtney Banghart. As a native New Englander, Banghart is a huge Boston sports fan who reveled in all six Super Bowl titles Belichick led. "I can’t wait to check in with my dad. He will be thrilled there’s more of a connection here, just like we root for Drake Maye now." (Tar Heel Tribune)
