P.J. Hairston working to find his rhythm, again

Posted Oct 29, 2012
North Carolina sophomore P.J. Hairston said he tried not to show too much emotion when he hit two 3-pointers within a 75-second span Friday night, helping to jump-start a 23-0 run that solidified the Tar Heels’ 81-54 exhibition win over Shaw. But it was hard for him -- and perhaps a few teammates, too -- not to grin. That’s what UNC needs him to do more consistently this season. (ESPN.com)
