Garrison Brooks, Sterling Manley and Brandon Huffman had been putting up solid numbers for UNC in the first three games of December. Tar Heels coach Roy Williams still wasn’t quite impressed. “Check their numbers against Michigan State,” Williams said. Then came Sunday’s trip to Tennessee. Brooks and Manley combined for 19 points and 16 rebounds.
