ACC Tournament MVP Joel Berry will return to UNC for his junior season.
Berry’s father, Joel Berry Sr., confirmed the news with Inside Carolina Friday morning.
Joel Berry led the Tar Heels in assists, steals, and three-point field-goal percentage. He was second on the team in scoring behind All-American senior Brice Johnson.
Berry’s best games came in the biggest moments. The guard led the Tar Heels with 19 points in the ACC Championship game. A clutch second half performance in the ACC final against Virginia was crucial in putting the Cavaliers away.
One of Berry’s best performances of the year came in the NCAA title game. He scored 20 points and hit all four of his three-point attempts.
It is far too early to predict what will happen next season for the Tar Heels. But, Berry will certainly be a big piece of the puzzle.
A separate report from the New & Observer conflicts with the report from Inside Carolina. According to the N&O’s Andrew Carter, Berry’s father said that “we don’t have a definitive answer,” regarding his son’s basketball future.
