Nate Britt, Kris Jenkins are playing the NCAA tournament together, just on different teams

Posted Mar 26, 2016
Thursday night, Nate Britt discovered how much more nerve-wracking it can be to watch an NCAA tournament game than it is to play in one. In Philadelphia with his North Carolina Tar Heels, Britt watched former Gonzaga High teammate Kris Jenkins lead Villanova to a Sweet 16 blowout victory over Miami in Louisville. Britt sent Jenkins a congratulatory text message, a follow-up to their FaceTime chat a day earlier. (Washington Post)
