Grandfather’s death inspires Nate Britt to excel
Posted Jan 27, 2015
Against a stifling Syracuse zone in the two teams’ first matchup in Chapel Hill, Ned Britt's grandson scored 17 points — netting four of his five 3-pointers, three of his four free throws and five of his seven field goals. In the meantime, Nate did it with 15 stitches in his mouth. Exactly a week after Ned’s death, Britt lacerated his lip in the waning minutes of UNC’s victory over Wake Forest.
