UNC said the “wife” of Rameses, Stella, gave birth to the new lambs in late March. The Tar Heels (32-6) are the only No. 1 seed to reach the Final Four in Houston, and will play Syracuse (23-13) on Saturday. 

“I don’t recall a time that the Tar Heels were playing in the Final Four that we had new lambs,” Rameses’ handler, Chris Hogan, said. “This is a first. It’s always special when you have new additions to the family.”
