With another season in the books, the North Carolina men’s basketball team has quickly turned its attention toward recruiting for next season.

Greensboro — Brice Johnson wasn’t looking at anything in particular. Not the scoreboard, not the jumbotron, not the noisy fans that packed Greensboro Coliseum Friday night.

Hundreds of screaming, raucous, eccentric students painted from head to toe, looking for their six-and-a-half week stay in freezing tents to culminate with jubilation.
