When North Carolina lost junior center Kennedy Meeks to a foot injury, many wondered who would step up and produce in his absence. Through two games we have our answer.
For the second time this week senior forward Brice Johnson has set a new career-high in points, scoring 27 points to lead the Tar Heels (9-2) over the No. 22 UCLA Bruins in the CBS Sports Classic Saturday. Johnson set his previous career-high of 25 points in Wednesdays win over Tulane.
The Tar Heels found themselves in a hole early on trailing by as many as 11 in the first half.
