Berry in North Carolina's starting lineup despite ankle injury
USA TODAY Sports
North Carolina will have Joel Berry in the lineup for Sunday's second-round matchup with Arkansas.
Head coach Roy Williams said Saturday that he was unsure if the junior guard would suit up against the Razorbacks because of an ankle injury he suffered during the Tar Heels' first-round win over Texas Southern. However, Berry was listed in the official starting lineup, according to the News and Observer's Luke DeCock.
Berry was able to return to the game against the Tigers after suffering the injury, but did sit out Saturday's practice as a result. He comes into Sunday's game averaging 14.5 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.2 rebounds on the season.
