PHILADELPHIA — Monmouth played Saint Peter's three times this season, which in a way is like saying North Carolina should be prepared for the first No. 15 seed to ever reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.
UNC coach Hubert Davis played with both Monmouth head coach King Rice and assistant coach J.R. Reid at Carolina. It's like having a ready-made scouting report for what the Tar Heels (27-9) will face when the teams tipoff about 5 p.m. on Sunday for the right to advance to the Final Four in New Orleans.
"I haven't had any conversations with them yet, but King and J.R. are two of my best friends," Davis said. "And our relationship when we played and our enjoyment of playing together, but not just playing together as teammates but just our relationship, and I'm sure that we'll have conversations."
