Hello and welcome.

It's our number three, hour three of our radio program,

and we have a college basketball kerfuffle to break down.

A Hall of Famer Tom Penders unloading on North Carolina,

the Tar Hills decided they did not want to bother to play in the National Invitational Tournament.

They were not invited to the NCAA tournament.

And Tom Pender says not playing in the NIT is a slap in the face.

Thumbs up or thumbs down on that take.

And what does this move say about Hubert Davis and the culture that he is creating for the Tar Hills?

And what are the chances there will be sanctions against North Carolina basketball?

Tom Penders, the Hall of Fame coach, said there should be sanctions.

That should be punishment.

Implied that against North Carolina.

We'll talk about that as well right now.

Here it is our number three.

You can call it a tar heel to die on, if you will.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather show.

We are in the air everywhere.

Neighboring as we give serious delivery, coast to coast, border to border and beyond, on the vast.

And sublimely powerful microphones of FSR emanating live.

From the break, the fast break of the overnight,

we are broadcasting live from the tirac.com studios.
