Good Times For Patient Platek

Posted Nov 8, 2019
Andrew Platek had fun Wednesday night. A lot of fun. It was the kind of joy that had eluded him over his first two years at North Carolina. There were some moments as a freshman, but nothing quite like what he experienced in the Tar Heels’ season-opening 76-65 victory over Notre Dame at the Smith Center. Now, Platek wasn’t unhappy at Carolina. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
