Comparisons to North Carolina’s 2017 men’s basketball national championship team began the moment guard Caleb Love announced he’d return Sunday, giving the Tar Heels four starters back in the fold.
And guard R.J. Davis, whether intentionally or Freudian slip, linked the current team to that title team while answering the first question Tuesday night in Kernersville on the second stop of the Iron Five barnstorming tour.
“It’s a great feeling just to have my brothers back for a redemption year,” Davis told the sold out crowd of 200, who paid $100 per ticket to attend the event. “To see how far we got, we came up short, but I’m glad to be able to return guys and run it back again next year.”
