Tar Heels' reason for optimism beyond just Brooks' big day

Posted Jan 13, 2021
Garrison Brooks broke out of a shooting slump and played his best game of the season in North Carolina's 81-75 win over Syracuse on Tuesday. That in itself was encouraging for the Tar Heels. It wasn't just Brooks' performance that was worthy of celebrating. It was the many contributions that made their win arguably UNC's most complete game this season. (MSN.com)
