North Carolina freshmen begin to take over for No. 11 Heels

Posted Jan 23, 2019
Leaky Black’s line of three points, two assists and a steal was the topping to a career night for Nassir Little and a scoring outburst from Coby White as the trio combined for 53 points. Little had a career-high 23 points, while White’s scored 27. Through 19 regular-season games and now six in the ACC, there has been plenty of opportunities for the inexperienced to grow.
