Post tandem of Johnson, Meeks plays big in UNC's win over Maryland
Posted Dec 2, 2015
Marcus Paige made his long-awaited debut for UNC. Of equal importance, better versions of post players Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks showed up. Johnson and Meeks scored a combined 28 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and defended well enough to help the ninth-ranked Tar Heels claim an 89-81 victory against Maryland in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup.
