Loyola MD vs UNC Preview
Loyola lost last year’s high scorer, Santi Aldama, who was selected in the first round of the NBA draft this year, so the team will have to make up for his loss on the scoring front. The Greyhounds finished 6-11 last season in Patriot League-only play, and they’re fresh from handing Division III Johns Hopkins a 60-49 loss in an exhibition leading up to this game. Ultimately, Loyola finished last season losing to Colgate in the championship game.
“We wanted to win,” Greyhounds head coach Tavaras Hardy said about last year’s championship loss. “When they gave us a chance to have a new season, that’s the way we looked at it.”
Now, Loyola will face a hungry young UNC squad out of the gate.
On the other side, former Tar Heel player Hubert Davis was hired to succeed the legendary Roy Williams after last season, and he’s looking to lead the team beyond the 18-11 mark it finished with last year.
“Everybody’s on the same page,” Davis told CBS 17 about his new team. “From that standpoint, I feel very comfortable with them being able to adapt to my personality and my style of coaching.”
UNC averaged 75.2 points a game last season, shooting 43.9% from the floor, and Davis says his squad is ready to not only improve upon what they did last year, but forge it’s own path to greatness, as well.
“They want to create their own stories, their testimonies of playing and winning and making big shots in big games and winning championships,” Davis said, adding: “I really believe that that’s the driving force in them over the past couple of months since we’ve started practice and it’s fun to watch and it’s fun to coach. It’s a joy to be able to coach them and hug them, teach them and try to get the best out of them. That’s what I am. I’m having the time of my life.”
Here’s a look at UNC’S lineup heading into the season:
Projected starters for the Tar Heels: G Caleb Love, G RJ Davis, F Kerwin Walton, F Dawson Garcia, F/C Armando Bacot
Tar Heels Bench: G Anthony Harris, G D’Marco Dunn, G/F Leaky Black, G/F Dontrez Styles, F Puff Johnson, F Justin McKoy, F Brady Manek
