Here’s why the Tar Heels will only go as far as Joel Berry can take them

Posted Mar 16, 2017
Joel Berry II might not be the MVP of this North Carolina basketball team, but I think he's the MEP. That would be “Most Essential Player,” and that is what Berry is for a Tar Heels squad that often takes its cues from its point guard. When Berry plays well, life is good for those who care about Carolina blue. When he plays poorly, life is often bad for UNC. (Charlotte Observer)
