TO THE EDITOR:
I attended Wednesday’s game against dook university. For a little backstory, I am a senior who has not won a single lottery this year until I received a glorious phase three ticket to the game. Growing up, I dreamed of attending the University of North Carolina (it was the only university I applied to) and watching my Tar Heels dominate the Blue Devils.
Now I have come to expect this type of behavior from the “wine and cheese” crowd that fills the lower sections, but to have those who willingly entered a lottery for this game show up and not make any effort to cheer on our team is unacceptable. What I don’t think these people understand is as students and fans at UNC, a program with one of the greatest basketball programs in history, it is a privilege to get a ticket to watch our team play. By entering the lottery, you are making a promise to uphold the tradition of Carolina basketball and not let that ticket go to waste, especially at the Duke game.
We can look try to point to finger at someone on the court for this loss, but until the fans decide to invest themselves in these games as well, our Tar Heels will be at a disadvantage.
