On Friday night, Carolina Basketball confirmed that former guard RJ Davis would receive a special honor at halftime, with his jersey being raised to the rafters of the Smith Center. Davis, who enjoyed a stellar five-year career in Chapel Hill, was set to be celebrated for his contributions to the program.
However, due to inclement weather, Davis is unable to attend the game against Louisville, prompting the program to postpone the official halftime ceremony. Fans attending the game will still see his jersey proudly displayed, but the formal recognition will occur at a later date.
In other news, the UNC athletic department plans to honor former football coach Mack Brown during the same game. Brown, celebrated as the all-time winningest coach in Carolina football history, will be recognized for his remarkable achievements on the field. As of now, this tribute is expected to proceed as scheduled, allowing fans to pay homage to a true legend of the sport.
