N.C.A.A. Men’s Basketball: Final Four
North Carolina sophomore guard R.J. Davis is looking to add a national championship to the New York State Federation championship he won in high school.
In 2018, the 6-foot Davis teamed with 6-6 Duke freshman forward A.J. Griffin to win the state title at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains.
When the ex-teammates squared off in the national semifinal on Saturday, Davis had a huge game, going for 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in North Carolina’s 81-77 win. Griffin, a projected N.B.A. lottery pick, managed just 6 points and 4 rebounds.
