Clemson shares kind gesture in honor of the late Eric Montross
The UNC men’s basketball team traveled to South Carolina for a conference game against the Clemson Tigers.
Often in college sports, programs find ways to share their respect and love for their opponent. Clemson did just that in a heartfelt gesture by honoring the late Eric Montross, who sadly passed away in December.
The Tigers honored the Tar Heel legend Montross, by leaving a note at the visiting radio seat along with a vase of flowers. Play-by-play announcer Jones Angell shared a photo of his broadcast location highlighting the kind gesture.
