NEW ORLEANS (AP) — North Carolina’s Hubert Davis is relying on experience from his playing career and lessons from Hall of Fame mentors in a field of NCAA coaching giants surrounding him at this week’s men’s Final Four.

The first-year head coach has less sideline history than the three Hall of Famers also in New Orleans: Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Kansas’ Bill Self and Villanova’s Jay Wright. UNC player Leaky Black says Davis understands the challenges they face because he’s been in their position and “gets us under control.”
