Lucas: The Low-Stress Banquet

Posted Apr 12, 2006

Last year the team held the banquet on April 13...the same day Rashad McCants officially announced he was leaving for the pros. Nine days later, three of his teammates followed him out the door.

Tyler Hansbrough made sure of it when he announced two weeks ago that he'd be back for his sophomore season. (Tar Heel Blue) (Inside Carolina)
