King Rice, Brian Reese set for on-court reunion

Posted Nov 5, 2015
King Rice's friendship with Brian Reese goes back a quarter-century to 1990 when Rice was a senior at UNC, Reese was a freshman, and together they helped the Tar Heels reach the 1991 Final Four. After all the years and all the memories together, what does Rice think it's going to be like coaching against Reese for the first time? "Funny," Rice said. "Brian is one of my closest friends."
