Normally, this place is reserved for the one player who will make a difference against a weakness of the upcoming opponent. With 30% of the games completed on the season, however, the X-factor this week is going to be multiple players.
Chazz Surratt has completed his suspension for selling special team-issued Air Jordans, as have Brian Anderson, Beau Corrales, Tyrone Hopper, Quiron Johnson, Malik Robinson, and Jordan Tucker. The Tar Heels also get Malik Carney back for this game, as Tomon Fox will sit for one game as part of his suspension. Carney will sit against VT to finish up his 30%, and then Fox will sit back down.
