North Carolina players, team managers issue apology for celebrating Duke win without masks

North Carolina's players and team managers released a statement of apology Tuesday after a video showing multiple players partying without masks on after Saturday's win over Duke forced the postponement of Monday's game against Miami.

Two hours before Monday's men's basketball game between Miami and North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the ACC announced that both teams had "mutually" agreed to postpone the game. The decision came hours after The Daily Tar Heel, North Carolina's student newspaper, posted a Snapchat video that shows UNC standouts Day'Ron Sharpe and Armando Bacot partying without masks on, along with other young people who also weren't wearing masks Saturday after UNC's 91-87 win over Duke.
