Lucas: Carolina Basketball Notebook
Posted Mar 25, 2017
As has been well chronicled, Malik Monk scored 47 points when Carolina and Kentucky met in Las Vegas. As has also been well chronicled, Theo Pinson did not play in that game. "Maybe if Theo was playing, Malik only has 30 points," said Kennedy Meeks. "He's one of our best defenders." Pinson, however, didn't want to get into any discussion of being a Monk-stopper.
