Sweet 16 run means something more for UNC walk-ons
Posted Mar 26, 2015

It’s been this way for years, them serving on the scout team. The system isn’t new. But perhaps what is different this season is how much this Sweet 16 run means to the two active walk-ons, juniors Spenser Dalton and Justin Coleman.
