Nassir Little aims to make impact off bench for No. 3 Tar Heels

Posted Mar 7, 2019
Nassir Little has carved out a role at third-ranked North Carolina: fly to the rim, attack the glass and get to the foul line. He does it as the top reserve behind talented upperclassmen, not as a starter. But Little has said he is driven to win a national championship. And if the best way to do that is coming off the bench for the Tar Heels, he’s good with it. (Associated Press)
