Quick Hitters – UNC vs. Georgia Tech

Posted Jan 20, 2018
Classy move from referee Ted Valentine to pull Joel Berry aside pre-game and discuss the back-turning issue from the last time Valentine called a UNC game. Good to have 2017 national champion Justin Jackson in the house. UNC honored the reigning ACC player of the year and first-team All-American at halftime, including hanging his jersey in the rafters.
