Three To Look Back At, Three To Look Forward To, Jan. 23
Posted Jan 24, 2012
N.C. State at North Carolina, Thursday, 7 pm: UNC has had a week to get ready for this game, but I’m not sure a month would be enough time for the Tar Heels to adjust to the loss of Dexter Strickland (out for the season with a knee injury). Strickland’s scoring can easily be replaced, but his defense-first attitude - a rarity on this UNC team - cannot.
