To say this has been a spring and summer of change for UNC basketball is an understatement. Between Roy Williams’ retirement, the one time transfer rule leading to several departures and arrivals, NIL becoming the rule across college sports, and, oh yeah, coming out of a pandemic, it’s easy to forget that it’s been about four months since the Tar Heels took the court playing actual basketball.
They took one step closer to getting back to normal on Thursday.
The first official practice of the summer occurred on campus, which meant it was the first time the new iteration of the Tar Heels-complete with new head coach Hubert Davis-took the court as one and fans get to have an idea of how things will compare to the old regime.
