So we all love football because of the tailgates and cute game day attire, but when you go to a school like UNC, basketball season is the best time of year. Here are a couple of reasons why we should all be thankful it’s finally basketball season!   

1. Roy’s crazy blazers
Would Coach Williams really be Coach Williams without his wild game day blazers with a hint of Carolina blue?

2. Insane dunks
High flying slam dunks are what makes basketball so entertaining. With players like J.P. Tokoto and Theo Pinson on the roster we are sure to have some epic dunks this season.

3. The Dean Dome
With a maximum capacity of 21,750 there is no better place to watch college basketball. 

4. The many faces of Joel James
If your ever looking for a good laugh during a game, look for Joel and more than likely he will be making a hilarious face that will for sure make you smile.

5. March Madness
Oh what would March be without the NCAA tournament. Especially for Carolina fans, March is a time full winning national titles and cutting down nets. 

6. The Duke vs. UNC game
There is no rivalry better than Duke and UNC, so when we play against each other in any sport it is always intense, especially in basketball. And when we win there is no better celebration than rushing Franklin Street.

7. Marcus Clutch Paige
Marcus literally put the team on his back numerous times last year, so long story short "In Marcus We Trust."

8. The adorable ball boys
Not only do they have the best seats in the house, but the ball boys are just too precious not to talk about.

9. The risers
If you are one of the lucky and dedicated students to literally win the lottery, standing in the risers is an experience unlike any other.

10. The tradition of excellence
Dean Smith and Michael Jordan, enough said.
