Media had some fun poking at @DukeMBB coach Jon Scheyer today. Backstory: as a Cubs fan, he was jokingly distracted a while back at one of his pressers by a White Sox hat. So today, most of us came with hats repping Cardinals, Mets, Red Sox, Orioles, etc. This was his reaction.😂

Former Duke player told me there were 3 things that didn’t sit right w/them: 1. Hubert Davis didn’t shake assistants’ hands before game. 2. UNC did nothing to honor K’s retirement. 3. HD didn’t intervene when UNC fans chanted “F*ck Coach K” All likely led to handshake snub.

Tough day. We've been a tag team in Raleigh for 13+ years and I couldn't imagine a better colleague. I'm proud to have worked alongside him all these years and to call him a friend. Send good vibes his way, please.

Some personal news. I’ve been laid off from the AP after 17 years. (In case you don’t see me around the press room anytime soon, that’s why. )

Final: North Carolina 75, Kentucky 73. Tar Heels go to Final Four thanks to... Luke Maye. Heck of a game.

Tonight is the first meeting between UNC and Clemson in Chapel Hill when both are ranked in the AP Top 25 since January 2009. UNC won that one 94-70.
