Exhibition season is great for seeing your favorite team in action after a long offseason, but it’s bad for drawing too many definitive conclusions. Roy Williams basically threw every version of his possible lineups at Barton College throughout the game, even without the presence of Joel Berry II, and the Heels still came away victorious.
There were definitely some sparkling moments for the guys in light blue. The freshmen bigs impressed in their time on the floor. Garrison Brooks was third on the team in scoring with 13 points in 19 minutes played. Brandon Huffman decided to block every ball within reach of his long arms, finishing with five swats and leading to a nice show of dominance down low.
