Tar Heels Raise Money For Charity With Jamboree

CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina coach Roy Williams wanted to raise money to help his home state rebuild from a hurricane. He also welcomed the chance to give his defending national champions a taste of Division I competition with the regular season starting later this week.

So he invited a few friends — and their teams — to spend a low-stress afternoon back in Chapel Hill.

Call it a hoops homecoming for hurricane relief, with three coaches with strong Carolina ties returning to the Smith Center. The ninth-ranked Tar Heels brought in UNC Wilmington, UNC Greensboro and East Carolina for a round-robin jamboree of scrimmages.
