The importance of Isaiah Hicks Posted Mar 7, 2017 Isaiah Hicks' big game against Duke gives him and this North Carolina team confidence rolling into tournament play. Sure Joel Berry scored 28 points and hit five threes, but potentially the most important mark in UNC's 90-83 win over Duke was Hicks' 21 points and nine rebound line. Hicks is crucial to the Tar Heels' success in March and a deep postseason tournament run. (Carolina Blue)
