What to look for as UNC basketball takes on Florida State

Posted Jan 13, 2017
No. 11 North Carolina takes on No. 9 Florida State at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Smith Center. After a close call at Wake Forest on Wednesday, the Tar Heels look to prove they can hang with some of the conference’s tougher teams. UNC met the Seminoles just once last season — Brice Johnson put up 39 points and 23 rebounds in a 106-90 UNC win. (Daily Tar Heel)
