When UNC junior guard Jaydon Young was a kid, Carolina basketball wasn’t just a team, it was his world. Growing up in Goldsboro, he wore Carolina blue with pride, cheering from his living room, sometimes pacing with nervous energy, sometimes sulking after a loss. "I was a super fan," Young said at a Thursday press conference at the Smith Center. (Tar Heel Tribune)
