Joel Berry was playing on two bad ankles. The UNC point guard sprained his left ankle early in the first half Sunday, and coach Roy Williams revealed after the game that Berry had aggravated his injured right ankle in Saturday’s practice. Berry sprained his right ankle in the first round, but played against Arkansas and declared himself to be “close to 100%” before the Sweet 16. (USA Today)
