In my last blog, I wrote about how the Tarheels needed an emotional leader and someone to step up. It doesn't even have to be the same player in every game which might even be better for the team in the long run. The player that came through today was Brice Johnson- 22 points and 11 rebounds on 11 for 15 shooting and Marcus Paige put up 17 points in the 73-64 win over Miami.
J.P. Tokoto also had a stat stuffing kind of game-10 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals and 6 assists. He was only 3 for 10 for the game but he was working his way into open shots. He utilized the pump fake well but he was missing the open 10 to 15 footer. He always plays an athletic game but he is prone to make turnovers. I can't wait until he puts a complete game together.
That was the Tarheels 20th win on the season and the announcers were precicting a #6 seed for North carolina in the NCAA's but I see them needing at least 3 or 4 more wins to get that high of a seed. They are at Georgia Tech on Tuesday and finish at home against Duke. The Duke game needs to be their statement game on the season.
