End of an Era

Posted Mar 24, 2018

As I read the post-game analysis and the inevitable, absolutely deserved, tributes to Joel Berry II and Theo Pinson, only one thought ran through my mind. This is the end of a golden era of UNC basketball that spanned from the fall of 2012 to the spring of 2018. (Tar Heel Blog)
