Tar Heels aim to handle UNCW like they care

Posted Dec 31, 2013
Today’s home game against 6-8 UNC Wilmington (5 p.m., ESPNU) should give No. 19 North Carolina one more easy game before conference play begins. Then again, that’s no sure thing with the Tar Heels (9-3), who have experienced some unexpected struggles against lower-level competition. Brice Johnson has started the past two games at center for Joel James, who is out again tonight with a sprained MCL. (Durham Herald-Sun)
