Tar Heels' small lineup does it all
Posted Jan 11, 2018
Perhaps my worry was overstated. It doesn't matter nearly as much who starts as who plays meaningful minutes, and UNC's small lineup allowed the Tar Heels to get off to a fast start. Then, Garrison Brooks and Sterling Manley entered the game and adjusted to its pace rather than feeling like they needed to be a part of setting it. There’s value in the veteran Johnson starting.
