The unofficial start to the 2022-23 UNC basketball season is underway as the Tar Heels are hosting the annual ‘Live Action’ event in the Dean Dome on Friday night.
The event gives fans their first look at the new team as they enter this year with high expectations. During the event, the team received a special message from a former player and it drew a big response from the crowd.
Former forward [autotag]Brady Manek[/autotag] appeared on the video board with a special video message. But it was what Manek was wearing that drew a large praise and caught the attention of everyone. Manek sported a “Coach K’s funeral” hoodie with the final score of the Final Four game in which UNC beat Duke to end Coach K’s career:

And that’s just awesome.
Judging by the Twitter reactions, it was a HUGE hit among UNC fans and rightfully so. The Tar Heels have the bragging rights and with them being a preseason favorite this year, the excitement is at an all-time high with Manek just adding more to that.
Bang. Bang.
