BROOKLYN—Near tipoff on Wednesday night, Wes Durham was sharing a few moments with Jones Angell and Eric Montross before Carolina's game against Syracuse. Durham was calling the game on the ACC Network, and Angell and Montross were, of course, calling the action on Woody Durham's beloved Tar Heel Sports Network.
Woody, Wes's dad, had passed away less than 24 hours earlier. But Wes was still in Brooklyn, still behind the microphone, because that's what he thought his father would want him to do. Woody loved the ACC Tournament, loved calling every minute of every game on the radio.
