Lineup Changes

Lineup changes made by Roy Williams last year helped to spring board UNC to a strong finish and he decided to make some changes to the 'Heels starting lineup before yesterday's win over Boston College. He went to a "small ball" lineup again. He inserted Jackson Simmons and Leslie McDonald into the starting lineup in place of Joel James and Nate Britt and the Tarheels emerged with their first ACC win of the year over Boston College 82-71. The Jackson Simmons experiment didn't lasdt long as he caught an errant elbow in the face from J.P. Tokoto and had to leave the game for an extended period. Simmons wasn't inserted into the lineup for his offense anyway, he was put there hoping to energize the Tarheels rebounding. Leslie McDonald was put into the lineup for his ability to score and shoot the ball and Marcus Paige was slid over into his more natural Point Guard position. The 'Heels placed 5 players in double figures led by Marcus Paige's 21 points and James Michael McAdoo with 17.
