UNC Basketball: The return of Blue-White scrimmage, and exit of ‘Late Night’ festivities

A long standing tradition of the North Carolina men’s basketball program was to fire up Chapel Hill well before opening night tip-off, which was done in a handful of ways throughout previous years. News broke Friday afternoon that the Blue-White preseason scrimmage will be reintroduced, essentially replacing Coach Hubert Davis’s ‘Live Action,’ taking place in Cherokee, NC.

The festivities have been tinkered with year in and year out, as the Davis tenure produced a rebrand from the previous ‘Late Night with Roy.’ We have also seen new styled player introductions, dancing, skits, challenges, and much more that have highlighted a lively launch of Tar Heel hoops.
