I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Eric Montross. We lost a great man! He represented The University of North Carolina in a first class manner both on the court and off. No one did it better than Eric. He was way too young. God bless him and his family.

- Let’s give Jason some grace. He was a very good player and a terrific leader on some great teams at UNC. He is part of “The Family”. I wish I was a better coach for him and his teammates during a challenging transition his last two years. #GoHeels
- Coach Williams: Congratulations on an amazing career at Kansas and North Carolina. You won the right way and you impacted many lives, including mine. Thank you. Enjoy your time with Wanda and the family. You deserve it.
- Nothing like beating Duke on senior night. Congratulations guys. Go Heels. @UNC_Basketball
- I loved Chris and his family, but we didn’t have a scholarship. Back then you could only offer 5 in one year and a total of 8 over two years. Plus, we had Raymond Felton in the class ahead of him. I think it worked out ok for Chris and the Heels.Chris Paul said that #UNC and former head coach Matt Doherty wanted him to walk on to Carolina. More: 247sports.com/college/north-…
- Powerful! Blessed having him lead the program. Go Heels.“The foundation of who I am is my relationship with Jesus. And so whether it's coaching, whether it's my marriage, whether it's my three kids, decision-making, everything is filtered through my faith.” (@UNC_Basketball Coach Hubert Davis)

00:00 - No finer Tar Heel than Eric Montross. God bless him. 🙏Please continue to pray for Tar Heel Legend Eric Montross as he battles Cancer. May God be with Eric and his family during this trying time. #cancersucks
- Real gut punch here. Sad day! Walter Davis passed away. Too soon. Everyone loved Walter…unless you had to guard him. He would come back to Chapel Hill with the other NBA players and play pickup with us in the summer. Great player. Better guy. RIP Sweet D.
- I was open!On this date in 1982, UNC freshman Michael Jordan hits the game-winning basket with less than 20 seconds left to lift the Tar Heels over Georgetown in the title game of the NCAA Tournament.
- Unfortunately, if Coach K was starting out at Duke today he would probably not see year 4. He had a supportive AD in Tom Butters that was a coach and had the guts to give him an extension in year 3! Great story!After 3 years, Coach K’s record at Duke was 38-47. He’s now the winningest coach in NCAA men’s basketball history. He didn’t change what he was doing, he just continued the process of building a solid foundation. Sometimes the best strategy is being patient and consistent.
