UNC basketball legend Eric Montross dies

Former North Carolina basketball player and Tar Heel Sports Network analyst Eric Montross died on Sunday after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, his family announced on Monday morning. He was 52 years old.

“Carolina Athletics, the Tar Heel basketball family and the entire University community are profoundly saddened and stunned by the loss of Eric Montross, one of our most beloved former student-athletes, at far too young an age,” Carolina Athletics said in a statement. “Eric was a great player and accomplished student, but the impacts he made on our community went way beyond the basketball court. He was a man of faith, a tremendous father, husband and son, and one of the most recognizable ambassadors of the University and Chapel Hill.”

I only had one starter jacket as a kid and it was UNC. Montross was my favorite college player for those couple of years. Condolences to his family/friends
