Miami: G Bruce Brown

Brown is third on the team in scoring and second on the team in rebounding. In his last game against Boston College, he finished with 12 points and six rebounds in 35 minutes. At 6-foot-5, he combines with Davon Reed to give the Tar Heels two large guards to worry about.

North Carolina: F Tony Bradley

In just his second game back from concussion-like symptoms, Bradley had a much better showing. The reserve big man finished with seven points and six rebounds in 19 minutes. He also had a block and an assist.

Bradley provides extra depth on the front line, allowing Meeks and Hicks to rest. He also allows the Heels to play smaller and faster when need be. His continued development will be key, particularly against the Hurricanes.
