@Jimeverett @NFL Just saw this tweet.. all of the draft intros today are annoying. I guess I like the NFL draft boring! The individual stories are what make it great.

Sources: Hubert Davis will not return as North Carolina’s head coach, per me and @jeffborzello. He’s spent the last five years as the head coach of the Tar Heels, compiling a 125-54 record. UNC reached the national title game in his first year there.

Thank You Greenville, that was a blast! You should be an NCAA Tournament site every year. Between the downtown, the parks, the restaurants, the arena and the people it’s the perfect place for basketball fans to come together. Hope to be back soon!
