UNC Basketball: Twitter reacts to Rashad McCants
By Zack Pearson
News broke earlier this morning about former North Carolina Tar Heel star Rashad McCants providing ESPN’s Outside the Lines details about his academics at the University. After the report went out, Twitter exploded. Tar Heel fans, former player and fans of other teams put their opinion into the situation and it made for an interesting time. Even former North Carolina State player Julius Hodge, who is not well-liked on Twitter, chimed in. Scroll to the bottom for a rare moment from Hodge on Twitter. Here are some of the reactions:

Henson is thinking what a lot of alumni and former Tar Heels are thinking….
Crazy that someone so disreputable would try to tarnish something so special.

He does have a point right? After-all, McCants did tell the AP this…
"To get up, go to school, get in here, lift weights and play basketball … I'm in jail right now." McCants, 10/19/04

And wait, are we really trusting McCants? The same McCants who, at one point, compared playing at UNC to serving a jail sentence?
