Tar Heels have hands full with Okafor

Posted Feb 17, 2015
Duke is 22-3 overall, 9-3 in the ACC and ranked No. 4 in The Associated Press Top 25. “They’ve just annihilated people, and we understand that,” Roy Williams said. “Offensively, they’ve got probably the best low-post scorer in America.” That would be Jahlil Okafor. “You’re talking about a guy who is 6-11, 270,” Williams said. “He’s a load, but he’s very gifted."
