North Carolina coach Hubert Davis broke out the “Griddy Dance” on the makeshift stage the Tar Heels bombarded while waiting to be presented their NCAA tournament East Region championship trophy after beating Saint Peter’s 69-49 in the Elite Eight.
Davis, in just his first year, has Carolina back in the Final Four for a record 21st time, and the first since winning it all in 2017. It’s an accomplishment worthy of Davis letting loose doing a dance most parents should leave up to their kids. The celebration was certainly in the moment, but it’s also something bigger for North Carolina.
It’s a signal that the UNC brand is back. And it’s a signal that — after 18 seasons and three national titles being led by a Hall of Fame coach — the program is in the right hands.
