Recap & Analysis: UNC 79 UNLV 73

Posted Dec 29, 2012
Reggie Bullock's absence (concussion) opened the door for P.J. Hairston to make the start at wing forward. The sophomore from Greensboro made the most of the opportunity with some really surprising play on the defensive end. Hairston seemed like he was everywhere ending the day with four steals and two drawn charges to go along with 15 points. (Tar Heel Blog)
