One of the women who helped raise UNC forward Kennedy Meeks says she won’t be cheering for him when UNC plays its national semifinal game against Oregon on Saturday. Nope. Rosalie Meeks says she doesn’t need to. “The rest of ’em will be hollering, so it don’t leave no room for me to cheer,” says the 91-year-old great-grandmother and matriarch of the star’s family.
