P.J. Hairston's shooting slump proves vexing for Tar Heels

Posted Feb 17, 2012
During the Tar Heels’ last six games, the bench has averaged just over eight points, which makes P.J. Hairston’s shooting slump all the more glaring. Hairston, who scored in double figures six times earlier this season, has hit three of his last 25 3-point tries. He’s 8-for-38 from the field stretching back to the Tar Heels’ victory against Miami back on Jan. 10. (Fayetteville Observer)
