Even if the Tar Heels' loss Monday remains part of his legacy, what Hubert Davis achieved in his first year - and especially in tournament play - sets the stage for another run at the national championship in the near future, PaulMyerberg writes.
After beating Marquette in the first round, UNC beat defending national champion Baylor, took out another reigning Final Four participant in UCLA and weathered the hype and hoopla to edge past Duke before running out of steam against the Jayhawks.
"There’s a number of things going through my mind right now," Davis said. "The whole season has been filled with so many blessings, it’s been so busy I haven’t had time to really process or think fully about what has happened. I will say this: I love what I’m doing. I just love being the head coach at the University of North Carolina and coaching these kids."
Davis may have the Tar Heels back in the Final Four as soon as next season. Two key starters may flirt with the NBA in Love and forward Armando Bacot, though neither is ranked among the top prospects in this year's class. UNC should again be active in the transfer market after hitting on Oklahoma graduate transfer Brady Manek."The season has been successful," said Bacot. "Having Coach Davis as the coach, he’s been amazing all year.
