Georgia Tech: G Justin Moore

Moore is averaging six points, two rebounds, and four assists in over 26 minutes per game. He has not been the most efficient player, but he isn’t taking a lot of shots either. However, UNC has struggled with bigger guards this season, while Theo Pinson has sat, so Moore could be in for a career game against the Tar Heels.

North Carolina: F Tony Bradley

Bradley just keeps taking what the Tar Heels give him. The freshman post player had another efficient night Wednesday scoring ten points and grabbing seven boards in just 14 minutes of play.

With the play of Meeks and Hicks improving, Bradley will probably continue to see limited minutes. However, if he keeps producing at these levels, it does give Tar Heels fans hope if either starter has to sit for any extended periods of time.
