North Carolina coach Hubert Davis broke down in tears after his squad beat Saint Peter’s, 69–49, on Sunday to earn a spot in the Final Four. Davis, who is in his first year as head coach, was overwhelmed during the postgame interview while his team cheered him on in the background. He could be heard pointing to the players celebrating saying, “It’s them. It’s them.”
