CHAPEL HILL—Roy Williams' Carolina Basketball Camp has completed its first session, and as always one of the highlights is the scrimmage between former Tar Heel players and returning members of the 2018-19 team.
Tuesday afternoon's scrimmage featured an impressive turnout of former Carolina players, including Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller, Tyler Hansbrough, Justin Jackson, Marcus Paige, Marvin Williams, Jawad Williams and more. The nightly pickup games behind closed doors are legendary among those lucky enough to watch them.
Whether it's midseason or midsummer, Carolina basketball makes news year-round. Here are some of the latest Tar Heel hoops news & notes some may have missed in the last week.
