5 observations from UNC basketball exhibition jamboree

Posted Nov 6, 2017
At one point during UNCG’s 32-24 victory over UNC in a 13-minute scrimmage, Spartans coach Wes Miller looked up and saw his brother Walker Miller running down the court for the Tar Heels. “I thought to myself, ‘He never put me in as a freshman,” the elder Miller said, smiling. Wes said that there was no recruiting battle with his old coach, and he’s proud to see his brother in Carolina blue. (Greensboro News & Record)
