P.J. Hairston’s new role had a positive impact on UNC

Posted Feb 14, 2013

It took a 26-point drubbing at the hands of Miami last Saturday for the North Carolina basketball coach to finally pull the trigger and insert sophomore P.J. Hairston into his starting lineup. “We’ve been struggling scoring the ball,” Williams said. “So putting P.J. in there gives us another scorer in the lineup.” (Wilmington Star News)
