COLUMBUS, Ohio -- North Carolina sophomore forward Garrison Brooks lost a tooth and broke another after being hit with an elbow from Washington's Noah Dickerson in the Tar Heels' NCAA tournament win Sunday.
The incident happened around the 12:20 mark of the first half. Brooks left the court and received stitches for a cut on his lip, but returned for the second half.
"Garrison, he'll have to go see the dentist before we leave town to get two teeth straightened out," Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said.
Officials reviewed the collision and determined that Dickerson "made a normal basketball play with the ball over his shoulders and his arms more vertical than horizontal," according to an NCAA statement given to a pool reporter after the game.
