Tar Heels fight through exhaustion, defeat Wildcats

Posted Dec 21, 2013
It was an exhausting week for the North Carolina men’s basketball team. Seven days ago, UNC defeated No. 11 Kentucky. Wednesday, guard Leslie McDonald was reinstated and hours later the Tar Heels were upset by Texas. A 5 a.m. practice followed the loss, and the next day P.J. Hairston’s UNC career was over. “It was just like losing a brother,” said James Michael McAdoo. (Daily Tar Heel)
