Lucas: Senior Nights

Leaky Black had the quintessential Carolina senior night...and maybe more.

By Adam Lucas

I hope we never stop having senior nights.

College basketball is changing and I understand that. Players come and go and sometimes they only stop at a program for a year and I fully understand why all of this is necessary and why it is, frequently, a positive development.

But if senior night ever goes away, we will have lost something. We will have lost Phil Ford running off the court at Carmichael after a great performance at Duke, and David Noel scoring a career-high 26 points on his senior day, and Marcus Paige fighting back tears on his last gameday in the Smith Center. We will have lost the experience…
