Tokoto lone bright spot in UNC’s loss
Posted Dec 2, 2013
As the North Carolina men’s basketball team watched Alabama-Birmingham pull away in the first half of UNC’s 63-59 loss Sunday, the Tar Heels desperately searched for someone to electrify their offense. Sophomore Marcus Paige had just two points in the first half, junior James Michael McAdoo added only two more. The spark came from an unlikely source — J.P. Tokoto.
