Exactly 20 days from today, the Dean Dome will be rockin’ with Tar Heel fans.
Exactly 20 days from today, the UNC basketball team opens its 2023-2024 campaign at 7 p.m. against the Radford Highlanders. With all the hype Carolina has ahead of the season, including a Preseason AP Poll ranking of 19th, there’s a lot to be excited about in Chapel Hill.
One of many reasons to be excited about Tar Heel basketball is the return of starting shooting guard R.J. Davis, who holds the highest scoring average (16.1 points per game), three-point shooting percentage (.362), three-pointers made (63) and free throw percentage (.881) among returners.
If it weren’t for Davis’ scoring production, UNC probably wouldn’t have won a lot of games last year. The season was disappointing nonetheless, but at least we had Davis.
You guessed it – Davis is also the highlight of today’s player preview. Let’s take a deeper dive in what he brings to the Tar Heels this year.
