Brice Johnson Ready to Step Up

Posted Jun 26, 2014
When the Tar Heel basketball team stepped on the Smith Center floor on Thursday for its first summer practice session, Brice Johnson officially began his junior campaign. It’ll be a season during which much will be expected of him. He’s the team’s second leading returning scorer (10.3 ppg), and was the No. 2 rebounder a year ago (6.1 rpg). He led the team in field goal percentage (56.6%) and blocked shots (1.3 pg). (Inside Carolina)
