MIchael Jordan’s words of encouragement little consolation for disappointed Tar Heels
Posted Apr 5, 2016
Michael Jordan sat in the stands behind the Tar Heels bench during the game. After Kris Jenkins’ buzzer-beating 3-pointer sent his alma mater to a heart-breaking 77-74 loss to Villanova, Jordan paid a visit to the locker room to console the disappointed team. “He just said he’s proud of us and he’s proud to be a Tar Heel,” senior forward Brice Johnson said.
