UNC wing Pinson healthy, hopeful and ready to seize his opportunity

Posted Nov 12, 2015
It all starts for real Friday at 7 p.m. when the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels face Temple in Annapolis, Md., before Sunday’s 4 p.m. home opener against Fairfield. J.P. Tokoto’s departure after last season already created an opportunity for Theo Pinson, and he’ll get even more chances early in the season with guard Marcus Paige out for the first few weeks of the season.
