Why did UNC change the starting lineup?
Posted Feb 12, 2016
Despite not starting against Boston College, Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks played the same amount as Isaiah Hicks. The equal distribution of minutes between the three big men is best for UNC. Hicks provides offensive aggression that has been lacking from UNC's front line recently. Even though Justin Jackson did not start, he played more minutes than any other Tar Heel.
