Heels, Wolfpack have changed since first meeting

State play again Wednesday night at the Smith Center, the members of both teams – with the exception of Ben McCauley and Mike Copeland – will probably need an introduction. That’s how much the Tar Heels and Wolfpack have changed in that short time. (Wilmington Star News)
