News about James Worthy

The North Carolina men's basketball team is turning the page on a horrific season by declining an invitation to the NIT following an NCAA Tournament snub. The Tar Heels officially became the first top-ranked team in The Associated Press' preseason poll on Sunday, the first top-ranked team in the field to have lost March Madness since the team's expansion to 64 teams in 1985. The school said it had "chosen not to participate" in the NIT, a short time after the NCAA field of 68 teams was announced. Coach Hubert Davis said in a tweet that the team's primary aim had been to achieve its potential and have another shot at the NCAA championship that had eluded the Tar Heels in last March's magical run to the championship game. Rather, the season was 'not what we had hoped for,' Davis said.'
