UNC point guard Joel Berry has mastered methods for staying calm. Along with his usual meditation routine, Berry avoids social media and takes a 15-minute nap before facing Duke. “I just know that I have to see it as another game and just realize that I can’t get too excited, too amped up for it,” Berry said. “I just got to make sure I conserve my energy for on the court.” (Charlotte Observer)
