Austin Rivers Teams With UNC Rivals In Jordan Game
Posted Apr 15, 2011
Austin Rivers insists he still loves North Carolina, even after the nation’s most sought-after recruit shunned the Tar Heels for Duke. Rivers could change his mind once he’s introduced to the fierce rivalry next season, but Saturday night he gets to be on the same team with future Tar Heels James McAdoo and P.J. Hairston in the Jordan Brand Classic. “I know their games. They’re just two great players going to a program where there’s a lot of other great players,” Rivers said after practice Friday.
