Former assistant coach C.B. McGrath brings his UNC Wilmington squad to Chapel Hill this evening for a game in which the Tar Heels will, once again, be short-handed. Starting point guard Coby White will miss tonight’s game as a precautionary measure due to an ankle injury.
This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the trio of senior starters, Luke Maye, Cameron Johnson, and Kenny Williams. The three struggled mightily in UNC’s loss at Michigan, and with White’s offense missing from tonight’s game, the Heels can’t afford for their three veteran leaders to no-show again.
We are in a very strange period of the schedule for Carolina.
