North Carolina’s Tar Heels are headed home sooner than they had hoped after Saturday night’s defeat to Kansas in the Final Four semifinals in San Antonio.
A team spokesman said the Tar Heels would depart for their return trip at about 10:30 a.m. (Central time) Sunday en route to Chapel Hill.
They had hoped to be staying until Tuesday — meaning they would have played in Monday night’s NCAA championship game.
Unclear was the traveling plans for junior forward Tyler Hansbrough because the Naismith Player of the Year award is to be presented Sunday night in San Antonio. Hansbrough would be considered the leading candidate for that award.
