Fresh Berry Allows UNC To Cruise Into Elite Eight

Posted Mar 24, 2017
For two NCAA Tournament games, Joel Berry wasn't himself because of ankle injury. Fortunately, after Friday night, UNC fans can breathe a sigh of relief: The Berry they watched all season is back. While Berry did have a brief scare in the second half, slipping awkwardly and hobbling afterward, he recovered to score a team-high 26 points in a dominant team performance. (Sports On Earth)
