Boston College: G Ky Bowman

Bowman is a 6 foot 1 guard from Havelock, NC. In his last game against Virginia, he had seven points, six rebounds, and five assists in the Eagles loss to the Cavaliers. Though nothing stood out as exceptional, the freshman does seem to stuff the stat sheet much like Theo Pinson does for the Tar Heels.

North Carolina: F Tony Bradley

Bradley has missed the last two and a half Tar Heel games with concussion-like symptoms. The 6 foot 10 freshman from Florida looks to return Saturday against the Eagles.

Before missing games, Bradley was averaging eight points and nearly six rebounds in 15 minutes a game for the Tar Heels. Without him, Carolina has been experimenting with some smaller lineups. How much that continues will have a lot to do with what type of impact play Bradley provides.
