One of the last places you'd expect to find a reminder of one of the cornerstones of Carolina basketball is a Wednesday night mid-February game against Northeastern scheduled with 48 hours notice.
But there has never been a season like this, so we shouldn't expect to get normal reminders. And so there was Roy Williams on Wednesday night, coaching his team to an 82-62 victory over the Huskies while wearing a towel over his shoulder that depicted former Georgetown coach John Thompson.
The towel was part of a National Association of Basketball Coaches initiative to honor the impact of Thompson, who died on August 30, 2020.
