UNC will need its depth of go-to guys, 3-point shooters against Virginia

Posted Feb 11, 2019
If North Carolina needs a big basket in a key spot, who is the Tar Heels’ go-to guy? There could be a different answer depending upon the game, and that’s what makes UNC particularly dangerous. In many games, it’s been Cameron Johnson. Other days — such as Saturday’s 88-85 overtime victory over Miami, it’s Coby White. And sometimes it’s Luke Maye. (Triangle Sports Network)
