Former UNC players Graves, Manuel OK in Japan

GREENSBORO -- A pair of former UNC basketball players in Japan contacted school officials that they are doing OK following today's earthquake.

Will Graves, who was dismissed from the team this fall and is now playing professionally in Japan, contacted UNC officials to let them know that while his home has lost power, he is doing fine.

Another former UNC player, Jackie Manuel, who also plays in Japan, contacted coaches and players soon after the earthquake with news that he is OK.

Graves would have been a senior forward and a contender for a starting position this season with the Tar Heels.

I wish UNCC received 2 percent of the coverage the heels get in the CO

If UNCC wasn't garbage, maybe they would get the 2% coverage you crave.

Face it, I don't think 2% of the people that read the Observer care anything about UNCC. Personally, I wish there was more NHL coverage in the CO, but although more people probably care about the NHL than UNCC, I doubt it will happen.
