Mike Copeland answers call as replacement

Posted Feb 9, 2009
Mike Copeland knows that North Carolina is going to need him to play more during the rest of the season with three top players sidelined by injuries or suspension. And he is ready to do whatever Coach Roy Williams asks of him in coming off the bench, as he has done in the last two games in wins against Virginia on Saturday and Maryland last Tuesday. "It's crazy, because I was thinking about red-shirting," Copeland said. (Winston-Salem Journal)
