Newcomers spark Tar Heels

Posted Oct 28, 2011
When UNC finally took a 28-27 lead with 6:58 left in the first half, Pembroke came right back and took the lead again. Finally, Coach Roy Williams went to the end of his bench to get a team that could out-hustle and out-score the Braves. "I don't think anybody was pleased with the start we got," Williams said. "We fumbled the first [two possessions]. But right before the half, I put in four of the freshman and Reggie [Bullock]. They gave us a great lift." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
