North Carolina's "death lineup" buries Wake Forest in ACC opener, 73-69
Posted Dec 31, 2017
With 3:06 left in the second half, the North Carolina men’s basketball team trailed the Demon Deacons, 67-65. Cam Johnson entered the game for Garrison Brooks, hoping to provide a spark. With the substitution, UNC (12-2, 1-0 ACC) had its “death lineup” on the court — a small-ball squad that features Johnson, Kenny Williams, Luke Maye, Joel Berry II and Theo Pinson.
