Brice Johnson alters ego, impacts UNC win over ECU

Posted Dec 8, 2014
This was big-boy basketball, and North Carolina forward Brice Johnson made a case for manhood with a double-double during a 108-64 win that East Carolina coach Jeff Lebo anticipated before his Pirates arrived in the Dean E. Smith Center on Sunday. “When I saw that they lost to Iowa, I about had tears in my eyes,” Lebo said. “I knew what I was going to get into when we got back here.” (Durham Herald-Sun)
