UNC Basketball: Andrew Platek wins the ‘Carolina Mile’

Sophomore guard Andrew Platek has some early bragging rights in the North Carolina locker room.

With just over 30 days until the start of the 2018-19 season, the University of North Carolina men’s basketball program held its annual conditioning test on Saturday in the form of the “Carolina Mile.” The test has become a tradition at UNC ever since Dean Smith was head coach and it’s continued through the Roy Williams era.

Like previous years, the “Carolina Mile” takes place at the crack of dawn as the players take their mark to finish in the required time.
