Garrison Brooks, UNC show their toughness to earn Sweet 16 berth

Nassir Little could only shake his head in amazement that Garrison Brooks came back in the second half. “I give him the most credit for that,” Little said. “The way he battled through and showed his toughness and how much he’s willing to sacrifice for his team.” Little was much more than just a guy who helped fill in for Brooks for much of the second half.
