Brady Manek's Special First Half Propels Tar Heels Past Virginia

Posted Mar 11, 2022
Brady Manek's 19 points in the first half helped the Tar Heels take a 33-13 lead into halftime. The 6-foot-9 graduate transfer from Oklahoma was asked after the game if he knew he outscored Virginia by himself through the first 27 minutes of action. "I didn't know it, but now that you say it, it sounds about right," Manek said. Manek did it all in the first half. (Inside Carolina)
