One of the finest traditions in UNC's tradition-rich basketball program is the scheduling of a game near a player's hometown during his career in Chapel Hill. For most kids in the ACC region, conference teams will usually serve the purpose, although not always. But, for someone such as Wayne Ellington of Philadelphia, getting to return to Pennsylvania to play in front of family and friends is a welcome and memorable experience. (Chapel Hill News)
