Tar Heels trying out 'small ball'

Posted Dec 7, 2012
While young frontcourt players like Joel James, Brice Johnson and Desmond Hubert continue to develop, North Carolina has found success with a lineup comprised essentially of four guards. The Tar Heels’ home game tonight against East Tennessee State, which won’t start a player taller than 6-foot-7, could again allow North Carolina to go small. (Raleigh News & Observer)
