UNC vs. Miami - Player of the Game: Tez Walker

Even as the North Carolina Tar Heels kept putting up wins, one of the storylines surrounding them early in the season was the Tez Walker situation. If you’re somehow unaware, Walker was a transfer into Chapel Hill for this season, coming over from Kent State. Due to reasons seemingly only known to the NCAA, he was ruled ineligible to start this season, as he had actually begun his college career at North Carolina Central — for whom he never actually played due to COVID cancelling their 2020 season. After an infuriatingly long process, someone eventually came to their scenes and Walker began his UNC career last week against Syracuse.
