NEW ORLEANS — A season of firsts for North Carolina under coach Hubert Davis ended one half shy of securing the ultimate prize.
Once the sting of Monday night’s NCAA men’s basketball championship loss to Kansas resides. Once the Tar Heels take a moment to breathe and reflect on the season that was, they’ll appreciate the journey and how it established a foundation for the Davis era.
“I would say that this season has been successful, just having Coach Davis as a coach,” said junior forward Armando Bacot, who tied Navy great David Robinson for the NCAA record of 31 double-doubles in a season. “He’s been amazing all year and everybody on our coaching staff has been great. We’ve all loved being here all year and playing for coach Davis. This won’t be the last time y’all will see this program here.”
