Joel Berry responds to Georgia Tech guard Jose Alvarado’s step-over

Posted Jan 20, 2018
While UNC was holding off the Yellow Jackets, one of the storylines came on a play between the two teams' point guards. UNC's Joel Berry drove to the basket and was fouled by freshman Jose Alvarado. Following the play with Berry on the ground, Alvarado stepped over Berry. "I just never want anybody to disrespect me like that. I told him, 'Watch where you're stepping.'" (Keeping It Heel)
