Tar Heels facing ‘tall’ task in second round against Texas A&M
Posted Mar 17, 2018
The Texas A&M Aggies (21-12) feature a front line consisting of 6-foot-10, 264-pound junior Tyler Davis, 6-10, 241-pound sophomore Robert Williams and 6-9, 220-pound junior D.J. Hogg, all three of whom stand head-and-shoulders above everyone in North Carolina’s preferred small starting lineup. “Their size is impressive,” Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said Saturday.
