The North Carolina Tar Heels are off to New Orleans and a date with arch rival Duke in the Final Four. But before the tense week begins, the Tar Heels are going to celebrate their 69-49 over Saint Peters.
Following that win, UNC head coach [autotag]Hubert Davis[/autotag] was interviewed on the court by CBS reporter Jamie Erdahl to get his reaction to the win and a Final Four in his first season as head coach.
But as Davis started to answer questions, he got very emotional and couldn’t hold back his tears. Watch as Davis goes through those emotions during the interview:

Davis has done a fantastic job for the Tar Heels in his first year as head coach and this team has come a long ways. They lost big to Purdue, Tennessee and Kentucky this Winter and then lost big at Wake Forest and Miami.
The Tar Heels were even a bubble team in February before earning a No. 8 seed in the tournament. Now, they are playing their best basketball of the year and it’s resulted in a trip to New Orleans.
Enjoy it, Hubert. You deserve it.
