It took about 75 days for Coach Hubert Davis’ European wing player to arrive in Chapel Hill, but it only took about 64 days for Coach Courtney Banghart to welcome hers. After Montenegrin Luka Bogavac finally made it to UNC last week, Russian Liza Astakhova finally met her new Tar Heel teammates this week after committing to Carolina on June 17. (Tar Heel Tribune)
