While the UNC football team might look in disarray, the men’s basketball team is hyped up and ready to start practicing with eyes set on another National Championship for one of the most distinguished programs in collegiate history.

North Carolina is bringing back fifth-year senior RJ Davis who is the reigning ACC Player of the Year as well as adding two major transfers in Cade Tyson from Belmont and Ven-Allen Lubin from Vanderbilt.

On top of that, the team also added freshmen Ian Jackson and Drake Powell to bolster the team. Jalen Washing and Jae’Lyn Withers are expected to step up and take on big roles as is Elliot Cadeau in his second season with the team.

Sean May is quoted in the hype video saying, “Every day we set out, the first day of practice, the first day of summer, coach said, ‘You guys are good enough. You guys are good enough to be there in the end, but will you do it?'”

This team is poised for greatness, but they will only rise as far as they want to. Their effort and self-will can propel them to the seventh National Championship in North Carolina history, and it starts today.
