North Carolina has a wealth of HBCU ties this season

North Carolina basketball is set to take on Kansas Monday night for the national championship after vanquishing Duke on Saturday.

While this year’s Kansas team doesn’t have any direct HBCU ties, UNC has several players with them. Some have parents who played/attended them, others have siblings that have or are currently playing for them. Still, others have former teammates that are currently hooping at HBCUs.
