Justin Pierce Excels on Familiar Ground

Posted Nov 9, 2019
UNC played its first game at Trask Coliseum on Friday. That was not the case for Justin Pierce, who was suiting up for the fourth time in Wilmington, albeit in a different uniform this time around. The William & Mary transfer made use of that familiarity in providing the Tar Heels with an early scoring boost before finishing with his 17th career double-double. (Inside Carolina)
