UNC celebrates with banner night

Posted Sep 4, 2009
The 2009 national championship banner will be unveiled tonight during North Carolina's sold-out Professional Alumni Game at the Smith Center, right beside the one earned by the 2005 squad. But it appears that a much-anticipated showdown between the two title teams is going to have to wait. Former UNC players Phil Ford and Pat Sullivan drafted squads earlier this week. The top picks for each: Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter. (Raleigh News & Observer)
