Injuries force Tar Heels back to the grind

Posted Jan 24, 2015
As the injuries mount, J.P. Tokoto said he believes the Heels have developed more toughness. “If you get challenged with something, you definitely take it to heart if you’re a true competitor, and we’ve got a team full of them,” Tokoto said. “I’d say everybody being injured, all those guys being out, that definitely could contribute to it, knowing that we have to play tougher, play smarter.” (ESPN.com)
