Terrence Brown won’t be the only one handling the basketball to start possessions as the Tar Heels prepare for Friday’s exhibition against USC. Michael Malone said it will be a combination, and that he’s got that question a lot on the recruiting trail. "Everybody wants to know. Who’s the one? Who’s the two? Who’s the three? We don’t play that way anymore." (Tar Heel Tribune)
