Sweet 16 run means something more for UNC walk-ons

Posted Mar 26, 2015
Come game time, they’ll rarely — if ever — find their names on a box score. They won’t show up in the postgame notes, either. Such is the life of the UNC walk-ons. 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. (Daily Tar Heel)
