Heels want boost from bench
Posted Jan 21, 2009
Roy Williams' first rule for reserves is "Don't hurt us," followed immediately by the command "Do anything you can to help us." If the Tar Heels' bench doesn't start offering some help -- particularly on offense -- a question has emerged about how long before the hurting sets in. Entering tonight's game against No. 10-ranked Clemson, Carolina's reserves are averaging only a combined 12.3 points a game through UNC's first four ACC contests.
