Tokoto’s time to step up for Tar Heels
Posted Feb 2, 2013
P.J. Hairston likely will miss today’s game with a concussion, so North Carolina will need a wing player to take on a bigger role when the Tar Heels host Virginia Tech. Freshman J.P. Tokoto said he’s up for the challenge. “You can only say ‘I’m a freshman so many times,” Tokoto said. “It’s about time to mature and step out there and play with your heart.”
