Around 30 minutes after Carolina had defeated Appalachian State, 70-50, Hubert Davis settled onto a stool in the Tar Heel locker room. He was about to do his postgame radio interview with Jones Angell for the Tar Heel Sports Network, and it was some of the first moments of quiet he'd had since early in the day.
This being the last game before the holiday break, he was asked if he'd enjoy a bit of a respite at some point in the next several days—Tar Heel players will return home to their families beginning Wednesday morning.
