Carolina freshman forward Nassir Little turned in another strong performance yesterday afternoon as part of a well-rounded 81-59 win over Washington in the second round of the NCAA tournament in Columbus, OH. Little scored 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting and added seven rebounds and one memorable block in 21 minutes off the bench.
Little’s 39 points are a team high through the first two tourney games. As he has shown throughout the season, in particular against zone defenses, the 6’6’’, 220-pound forward was one of the most talented players to step on the court.
